The Chinese Government has been dispatching medical teams to Togo every two years since 1974. Shanghai was originally responsible for sending the teams but Shanxi Province took over in 1983. In 2007, the Chinese Government dispatched the 17th Chinese medical team to Togo (第17批中国援多哥医疗队). The 21-member team was stationed at Lomé-Commune Health District Hospital (or Hôpital du district sanitaire de Lomé-Commune) in the capital city of Lomé and Kara Regional Hospital (also known as Centre Hospitalier Régional de Kara or Hôpital chinois de Tomdè or CHR-Kara-Tomdè or Centre hospitalier régional de Kara Tomdè) in the city of Kara. It completed its term of service between August 2007 and August 26, 2009.
