Description
On November 10, 2019, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Mauritania, Wang Jian, was invited to attend the cultural festival of the ancient city of Xingeti. He led the 33rd Chinese medical team in Mauritania (see Project ID#57187) and drove more than 500 kilometres to hold a one-day free clinic for the local residents, and distributed free medicines and other materials such as T-shirts. The 7 medical team members worked tirelessly to overcome difficulties such as insufficient equipment in the local health centre, and provided medical services such as eye examinations, acupuncture and cupping for Chinguetti residents. More than 50 patients visits were received and they were warmly welcomed by the patients.
