Description

China has been sending medical teams to Sierra Leone from Hunan Province since 1973. China stopped sending medical teams in 1993 due to civil conflict and political instability. However, it began sending teams again in 2002. In February 2016, the Chinese Government and the Government of Sierra Leone signed an agreement, dispatching the 18th Chinese medical team to Sierra Leone. The 9-member team was stationed at Sierra Leone-China Friendship Hospital in the town of Jui. It completed its term of service between June 4, 2016 and June 2017. The team was responsible for performing routine diagnoses and surgeries as well as teaching local medical staff since Sierra Leone was recovering from the Ebola epidemics and lacking medical resources.
