On December 23, 2011, the Chinese Government and the Government of Burundi signed an agreement related to the dispatching of the 15th Chinese medical team to Burundi. The team included 29 members who served in Burundi from May 24, 2012 to June 5, 2014. The members of the team were stationed at Mpanda General Hospital and Gitega Provincial Hospital.
