The Chinese Government has been dispatching medical teams to Togo every two years since 1974. Shanghai was originally responsible for sending the teams but Shanxi Province took over in 1983. In 2015, the Chinese Government dispatched the 21st Chinese medical team to Togo (第21批中国援多哥医疗队 or 中国援多第21批医疗队). The team was stationed at Lomé Regional Hospital Center (CHR-Lomé Commune or CHU-Lomé) in the capital city of Lomé and Kara Regional Hospital (also known as Centre Hospitalier Régional de Kara or Hôpital chinois de Tomdè or CHR-Kara-Tomdè or Centre hospitalier régional de Kara Tomdè) in the city of Kara. It completed its term of service between September 2015 and September 29, 2017.
