Chinese Government dispatches 18th medical team to Lomé-Commune Health District Hospital and Kara Regional Hospital

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 December 2008, the Chinese Government and the Government of Togo signed a protocol agreement, dispatching the 18th Chinese medical team to Togo (第18批中国援多哥医疗队). The agreement was signed by the Chinese Ambassador to Togo, Yang Min, and the Minister of State, Minister of Health of Togo, Komlan Mally. The 21-member team was stationed at Lomé Regional Hospital Center (CHR-Lomé Commune or CHU-Lomé) 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 2009 and August 2011.
