Project narrative

In 2018, the Chinese Government dispatched the 17th Chinese medical team from Sichuan to Guinea-Bissau. The team was stationed at the Kasongo Hospital in the Cacheu District and the China-Guinea-Bissau Friendship Hospital within the capital city of Guinea-Bissau. It completed its term of service between December 19, 2018, and April 20, 2021. On February 25, 2021, an award ceremony for the 17th Chinese medical team was held in Bissau. Guinea-Bissau Public Health Minister Deuna, Chinese ambassador to Guinea-Bissau, Guo Ce, other officials, and all members of China’s 17th Guinea-Bissau medical team attended the ceremony. On April 20, 2021, the 18th Chinese medical team was welcomed to Guinea-Bissau, and the 17th medical team completed its service. Since 1976, China has been sending medical teams to Guinea-Bissau, selected by the Sichuan Provincial Health System.
