Project narrative

Since 1973, the Chinese Government has been dispatching medical teams to Tunisia. The Jiangxi Province is responsible for sending the teams. On September 28, 2012, the Chinese Government and the Government of Tunisia signed a memorandum of understanding to dispatch the 20th Chinese medical team to Tunisia. 10 members of the Committee on Rights, Freedoms and External Relations under the National Constituent Assembly voted against approving the agreement, but the agreement was ultimately executed. The medical team consisted of 45 members. It was stationed at Jendouba regional hospital (Hôpital Régional De Jendouba or المستشفى الجهوي بجندوبة), Sidi Bouzid regional hospital (Hôpital Régional De Sidi Bouzid or المستشفى الجهوي بسيدي بوزيد), Kasserine Regional Hospital (Hôpital Régional De Kasserine or المستشفى الجهوي بالقصرين), and Mongi Slim Hospital (Hôpital Mongi Slim or مستشفى المنجي سليم) in the northern suburbs of Tunis. The medical team left China for its two-year stay in Tunisia on December 5, 2012. It completed its term of service in December 2014.
