Description
On 23 June, 2017, the Chinese Government and the Government of Niger signed a protocol agreement, dispatching the 19th medical team to Niger. The 37-member team was stationed at Niamey General Referral Hospital; and it completed its term of service between January 2017 and 12 February, 2019. The team reportedly treated thousands of Nigerien and Chinese patients for free. The doctors also conducted training sessions and consultations at hospitals and Chinese enterprises such as CNPC. China has been sending medical teams to Niger from Guangxi Province since January 1976. The funds for the construction of Niamey General Referral Hospital were donated by the Chinese Government in 2009 (see ProjectID#32660).
