Chinese Embassy donates 50 copies of 'Radiology Cases – Image Interpretation and Diagnostic Essentials' to Seychelles' Ministry of Health (Linked to Record ID#55684)

Project narrative

On July 17, 2018, the Chinese Embassy in Seychelles donated 50 copies of "Radiology Cases – Image Interpretation and Diagnostic Essentials" (Chinese: 塞舌尔放射病例-影像解析及诊断要点) to the Ministry of Health of Seychelles. The book, written by Doctor Sun Zhanguo, a radiologist and member of the 16th Chinese medical aid team to Seychelles (see Record ID#55684), offered interpretations of 403 radiological cases in Seychelles observed during consultations at the Radiology Unit in the Sheikh Khalifa Diagnostic Centre of the Seychelles Hospital (formerly the Victoria Hospital). The book was intended to simplify the interpretations of radiological cases, improve the implementation of CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, X-rays, and mammograms by Seychellois clinicians, and enable short training at the Radiology Unit by local doctors. The book was submitted to Seychelles' Ministry of Health Ethics Committee and to additional peer-reviewers prior to its donation. The book was set to be distributed to the Radiology Unit and library of Seychelles Hospital. The monetary value of this donation is unknown.
