Chinese Government dispatches 15th medical team to Lomé-Commune Health District Hospital and Kara Regional Hospital

Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

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. On January 17, 2003, the Chinese Government and the Government of Togo signed a protocol agreement, dispatching the 15th Chinese medical team to Togo. 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 July 2003 and July 17, 2005. The team was attacked on the nights of June 28, 2005 and June 29, 2005 by a gang of looters.
