Chinese Government dispatches 16th medical team to King Harman Road Hospital

Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

China has been sending medical teams to Sierra Leone from Hunan Province since 1973. China stopped sending medical teams in 1993 due to civil conflict and political instability. However, it began sending teams again in 2002. On April 10, 2013, the Chinese Government and the Government of Sierra Leone signed an agreement, dispatching the 16th Chinese medical team to Sierra Leone. The 10-member team was stationed at King Harman Road Hospital in the capital city of Freetown. It was supposed to complete its term of service between 2013 and 2015. However, after 5 months of the Ebola outbreak, the King Harman Road Hospital was shut down in October 2014.
