Additional details

It is the 3rd medical team that was part of this operation. They were sent to Edward Small Hospital but they were doing rounds of clinics across the country (巡诊), so this is why they were in this hospital. According to the source, The Chinese donated 1.7 million dalais to the Bansang and Basse hospitals. As they donated 0.7 million to Basse, the projects have been separated and this project captures the remaining amount, 1 million, donated to Bansang.
