Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In March of 2011, Chinese Ambassador to Liberia Zhou Yuxiao announced that his government had begun reconstruction work on a new health ministry, and that China was also prepared to send five technicians and train 25 medical and technical personnel in China as obligations under the Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Liberian and Egyptian governments. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed on February 1, 2011, on trilateral cooperation between Egypt, China and Liberia regarding running the Tappita Hospital in Liberia. It has been reported that 25 Chinese experts are in Liberia to jumpstart the management of the hospital.
