Full Description

Project narrative

On December 12, 2019, Zhang Jianguo, Chinese ambassador to Mauritania, and Mauritian Minister of Health, Hamid, went to the China-Mauritian Ophthalmology Cooperation Center to inspect the fifth "Bright Action" (第五次“光明行”) free clinic. China has carried out the "Bright Action" ophthalmology free clinic in Mauritania for five consecutive years. This free clinic would last for more than a week. Chinese experts dispatched by the Heilongjiang Health Commission would perform 250 cataract surgeries for Mauritanian patients. In the future, China will continue to deepen China-Mauritian medical cooperation, benefiting more local people. On December 12, 2019, Chen Junqi, Economic and Commercial Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Mauritania, and Budaya, Director of Mauritania National Medical Center, signed a certificate for the handover of medical supplies for the "Bright Action" free clinic supported by China government for free. This "Bright Action" activity donated medical supplies of approximately 1.8 million yuan (captured by Record ID#88684). On December 18, 2019, Ambassador to Mauritania, Zhang Jianguo, hosted a reception to celebrate the success of the fifth "Bright Action". Mauritian Minister of Health Hamid, several members of Congress, medical professionals and representatives of the International Red Cross, the "Bright Action" expert group sent by the Heilongjiang Health Commission and representatives of the Mauritian medical aid team attended the reception.
