Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On January 6, 2018, the Chinese 17th medical team to Senegal departed from Pikine National Hospital (Centre Hospitalier National de Pikine) to administer a two-day free health clinic in the holy city of Touba. They were invited by the Chinese-funded enterprise Henan International Company in Senegal and the Secretary of the Bishop of Touba of the Holy City Assane Fall. The team operated under the organization of the Economic and Commercial Office of the Chinese Embassy in Senegal and was supported by Henan International and Jiangsu Construction Company (Senegal). The clinic lasted from January 6 to 7. On the first day, the medical team provided free consultations for employees of Henan International Senegal as well as donating commonly used medicine. On the second day, the medical team traveled to Mbacke Pallene Village School on the outskirts of Touba. With the help of volunteers, the team served the local people and distributed materials relating to the prevention and treatment of AIDS, malaria and other infectious diseases. Over the course of two days, the team served over 400 people, including fifty Chinese nationals.
