Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On April 9, 2007, the Chinese Government and the Government of Senegal signed an agreement related to the dispatching of the 12th Chinese medical team to Senegal. China has been sending medical teams to Senegal since 1975. China stopped sending medical teams for 10 years (after Senegal severed diplomatic ties with it), but then dispatched the 12th medical team in 2007 after Senegal re-established diplomatic ties with China. All of the Chinese medical teams that have been dispatched to Senegal are from Fujian Province. The 12th medical team included 16 members and it was stationed at the Pikine National Hospital Center in Dakar. It completed its terms of service between September 2007 and September 2009.
