Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

China has been sending military medical teams to Zambia since 1984. In July 2010, China’s 14th military medical team arrived in Zambia. It was stationed at Maina Soko Hospital in Lusaka and it completed its term of service over an 18 month period.

Staff comments

Chinese military medical teams should not be confused with regular Chinese medical teams, which have also been dispatched from Henan Province to Zambia every two years since 1978.
