Full Description

Project narrative

Since 1968, Zhejiang Province has been sending medical teams to Mali every 2 years. On January 29, 2015, the Chinese Government and the Government of Mali signed a protocol agreement, dispatching the 24th Chinese medical team to Mali. The 31-member team was stationed at the Mali Hospital (Hôpital du Mali or 3ème centre hospitalier de référence), which is located on the right bank of the Niger River in Yirimadio within Commune 6 and Bamako District. The team completed its term of service between July 21, 2015 and July 26, 2017. In June 2016, the team visited Sikasso Hospital and completed a total of 918 outpatient visits, 45 CT scans, 62 ultrasounds, 41 examinations. Additionally, the team performed super-large ovarian cyst resection, baby cleft lip repair, pediatric brain swelling repair, and 28 operations such as nodular goiter, salivary gland tumor resection, and uterine myomectomy.

Staff comments

- The 24th medical team was the third Chinese medical team to be stationed at the newly-constructed Mali Hospital, which was financed with a Chinese Government grant (captured in Record ID#1505).
