In 1978, Jiangxi Province sent the first Chinese medical team to Chad. Chinese medical teams suspended their activities in Chad between 1979 and 1989, resumed their activities between 1989 and 1997, suspended their activities between 1997 and 2006, and resumed their activities from 2006 onward. On December 9, 2016, the Chinese Government and the Government of Chad signed an agreement, dispatching the 13th medical team (第13批援乍得医疗队) from Jiangxi Province to Chad.

The team completed its term of service between December 2017 and November 7, 2018. The farewell ceremony was held in the conference room of the China-Chad Friendship Hospital.
