Description

In 2016, the Chinese Government dispatched the 17th medical team to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The 17th medical team was stationed at the Sino-Congolese Friendship Hospital, which is located in N'djili, Kinshasa. The team completed its term of service between June 3, 2016 and late May 2018. On May 16, 2018, a ceremony honoring the 17th medical team was held in Kinshasa before the team's departure. The Chinese Government also provided an RMB 48 million grant for the construction of the Sino-Congolese Friendship Hospital (recorded in project #438). The Chinese Government has been sending medical teams to the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1973. However, due to internal turmoil, the Chinese Government stopped sending medical teams from 1997 to 2008. Hubei Province has been responsible for sending the medical teams.
