Description
At the China-Pacific Island Countries Economic Development and Cooperation Forum in 2006, China committed to send medical teams to Tonga. In 2010 a Chinese medical team of 7 experts were sent to Vaiola Hospital, where they would stay for two years. There they provided dental treatment, psychiatric meetings, general examinations, and other operations and services. This medical aid was arranged by China Sinopharm International Corporation. On July 28, 2010, the Ministry of Health of Tonga held a welcoming ceremony at the Tonga Central Hospital, and warmly welcomed the medical team to Tonga. This project has been completed. This project is linked to #67094, #65298, and #65299 which record the second, third and fourth medical teams sent by China to Tonga respectively.
