Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

Through an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) signed by the Chinese Government and the Government of Samoa in January 2010 (see Record ID#70224), the Chinese Government dispatched the 12th Chinese medical team to Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital (T.T.M.) in the Moto'otua neighborhood within Samoa’s capital city of Apia. The team consisted of 7 people. According to page 32 of 'Annual Report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade for the Financial Year July 2011- June 2012,' the team included 'one general surgeon, one anaesthetist, one CT scan doctor, one ENT doctor, one ophthalmologist, one pathologist obstetrician/-gynaecologist and one interpreter,' as well as a yearly visit from a CT scan engineer. The medical team began its work on September 21, 2011, and worked until September 20, 2013, with the interpreter only working for a one-year period.
