Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 22 June 2018, the Jamaican Ministry of Health launched the Jamaica-China Bilateral Cooperation Nurses Training Programme at the Kingston Public Hospital. Under the program, 18 registered nurses and five instructors traveled to China for training in an intensive care unit of the Xinxiang Central Hospital of Sinopharm in China. The Chinese government funded the program, including airfare, accommodations, meals, transportation, and a stipend. The 23 participants left Jamaica on 25 June 2018 and the program lasted two months. The exact return date of the 23 participants is unknown, however sources state that the visit was scheduled for a two month period.
