Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On June 30, 2008, 7 medical personnel left from Shaanxi province for a medical mission in the Mzuzu Central Hospital in Malawi. Then in March 2009, 12 more medical personnel left from Shanxi province for a medical mission in Kamuzu Central Hospital. This group included 9 doctors, 1 interpreter, and 2 chefs. On March 23, 2011, all but 6 personnel left Malawi and returned to China. The remaining personnel stayed on and joined the next teams for the second medical mission (captured in #23346). Since 2008, China has sent a medical team to Malawi about every two years. Part of the team goes to Kamuzu Central Hospital in the capital Lilongwe and another part goes to Mzuzu Central Hospital in Malawi's Northern Region city of Mzuzu.
