Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

Medical cooperation between Tanzania and China began with an agreement in 1968 with doctors typically spending two year shifts in the country. Since 1968, over 1000 specialists from Shandong Province have come to Tanzania to volunteer their services. In April 2010, a team of 21 doctors from China flew to Zanzibar Islands, and they were working in different hospitals and clinics on Unguja and Pemba islands. According to a 2011 Working Series report, China has been sending medical teams to Tanzania since 1968.
