Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

China has been sending medical teams to Zanzibar every two years since 1964. Jiangsu Province is responsible for sending the teams (not to be confused with medical teams sent to Tanzania, which are sent by Shandong Pronvince). In June 2009, the 23rd medical team of 21 members arrived in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The team handed over optical equipment donated by the Chinese government in August 2009. The team completed their mission and returned to China in June 2011.
