In June 2018, China dispatched the fourteenth medical team to Georgetown Hospital and Linden Hospital in Guyana. The team is administered by the Jiangsu Provincial Government. The fourteenth medical team consisted of 16 people, covering general surgery, ophthalmology, acupuncture and massage, radiology, nephrology, plastic surgery, histopathology, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, anesthesiology, pediatrics and other fields. The experts piloted three new surgical techniques for the Georgetown Hospital and attended to 16,440 outpatients. The team also donated medical supplies to the country. The project was completed and the team returned in June 2019. The Guyana Ministry of Public Health hosted an appreciation dinner for the team. The thirteenth batch was sent to Guyana in 2017 (see Project ID #71208), the twelfth batch of doctors was sent to Guyana in 2016 (see Project ID #71207), the eleventh batch of doctors to Guyana was sent in 2014 (see Project ID #71206), and the tenth batch in 2012 (see Project ID #71205). A sixth batch is recorded by Project ID #71201. Since 1993, China has sent over 160 medical experts to assist Guyana.
