Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On November 10, 2011, a handover ceremony was staged at the Angolan Ministry of Health in Luanda for the donation of anti-malarial medicine from the Chinese government to the Angolan Ministry of Health. Ambassador Gao Kexiang and Deputy Minister of Health Evelise Frestas were present. The donation comprised of 179,520 tablets DUOCOTEXIM, a composition made of Artemisinina and Piperaquina. China has donated 3 batches of antimalarial medicine since its commitment to combat malaria in Africa during the 2006 FOCAC Summit, and this donation is the fourth. According to Chinese Economic and Commercial Counselor Xia Xiaoling, who was also present at the ceremony, the medicines were worth a total of 2 million RMB. This donation likely follows the signing of an agreement for the donation of anti-malaria equipment to the anti-malaria center in May 2011.
