Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

A handover ceremony from the 17th to the 18th Chinese medical team to Ethiopia was held in July 2015. The 18th Chinese medical team to Ethiopia worked out of Tirunesh-Beijing Hospital in Addis Ababa. During their time in Ethiopia, the 18th batch of the Chinese medical teams to Ethiopia provided free clinic services to the villagers in Jimma, Ethiopia, after a commemoration ceremony for Mei Gengnian, the leading doctor for the first Chinese medical mission to Ethiopia in 1974. The 18th medical team handed over work to the 19th medical team sometime in September 2016.
