Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 19 March, 2008, China sent the 70th batch of medical team membersfrom the Liaoning Provincial Department of Health to Yemen. The team of 28 people arrived in Sana'a Governorate and will spread out to five medical centers and hospitals, Sana'a Republic Hospital, Taiz Al-Thawrah (Revolution) Hospital, Al Hudaydah Al-Thawrah (Revolution) Hospital, Ibn Sina Hospital in Sana'a, and Al Mahwit Republic Hospital. China began to organize and send medical teams to Yemen in 1966 and has dispatched more than 3,500 people in total. A new bilateral agreement was signed between China and Yemen in 2012 after China's medical team temporarily evacuated in 2011 because of the situation in Yemen. Since then 8 medical teams have been sent to Yemen (see Projects #41002, #65709).

Staff comments

It is unclear if the Chinese transliteration "伊普塞纳尔" refers to Ibn Sina Hospital.
