Description

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 August 10, 2007, the Chinese Government and the Government of Sierra Leone signed a protocol agreement, dispatching the 13th Chinese medical team to Sierra Leone. The 10-member team was stationed at King Harman Road Hospital in the capital city of Freetown. It completed its term of service between July 2007 and July 2009. The members of the team had expertise in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, ear-nose-throat, ophthalmology, anesthesia, and radiology.
