China's 12th medical team to Liberia provides a donation of medicine and consultations at the Bong Mines Hospital

On April 6, 2019, the University of Liberia Confucius Institute held World Health Day Activities with members of the Chinese Medical Team stationed in Liberia at the Bong Mines Hospital for people within Bong County, Liberia. The activity was done in conjunction with Gezhouba Epley Group, a professional company integrating the production, sales, and engineering blasting services of civil explosives. A holding subsidiary of China Gezhouba Group Co., Ltd, Gezhouba Epley Co., Ltd. undertook the organization, logistical support, and media publicity of this visit. At the event, lectures were given to introduce the basic information about malaria and typhoid and other preventive measures to the officials and the public. The Chinese medical team also donated commonly used drugs for malaria and typhoid to the clinic. Subsequently, the medical team carried out rounds of diagnosis activities, and a total of more than 130 patients were diagnosed and treated. Leaders at all levels including Aaron, Chief Executive of Libang Mining District, Francis, Dean of Bong Mines Hospital, and other leaders made speeches. The 12th medical team has been stationed at JFK hospital in Monrovia, Liberia since 2018 (see Project ID#55714). They've provided free clinics and donated medicines across the country during their stay.
