Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On June 5, 2018, the Chinese Embassy in Sierra Leone hosted a launch ceremony for the second phase of the "China and Sierra Leone Maternal and Child Health Innovation Project". A Chinese medical team from Hunan province in China offered free medical care to children, pregnant and lactating mothers for 12 days. The team took up temporary residency at the China-Sierra Leone Friendship Hospital for the implementation of the project. The project falls under an MOU signed in August 2016 by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China and the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation. Wu Peng, Chinese Ambassador to Sierra Leone, attended the launch ceremony and delivered a speech. Sierra Leone's Health and Sanitation Minister Alpha Wurie, Chinese Economic and Commercial Counsellor Zhang Xueqian, and Vice President of the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital Li Quanqing were also in attendance. The first phase of the project was implemented in 2016 (recorded in the linked Record ID#53016).
