In 2012, the Chinese Government dispatched the 15th medical team to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The 15th medical team consisted of 18 members who were stationed at the Sino-Congolese Friendship Hospital, which is located in N'djili, Kinshasa. The team completed its term of service between May 18, 2012 and May 2014. According to the aid management platform (AMP) of the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Chinese Government committed $698,708.20 for the 15th medical mission and almost fully disbursed ($691,233.26) this commitment. The Chinese Government provided $2,800,799 of grant funding to support three Chinese medical missions (recorded in the linked project #59088): the 13th medical mission (recorded in project #34183), the 14th medical mission (recorded in project #36333), and the 15th medical mission (recorded in this project).

The Chinese Government has been sending medical teams to the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1973. However, due to internal turmoil, the Chinese Government stopped sending medical teams from 1997 to 2008. Hubei Province has been responsible for sending the medical teams.
