Description
In August 2019, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) provided medical assistance to Laos under Peace Train-2019 (see linked project ID#88686). As part of the assistance, a PLA medical team traveled to the Hospital of the 5th Division of the Lao People's Armed Forces in Pakse City in the Champasak Province. The team arrived on August 23, 2019. It brought medications and medical equipment worth RMB 500,000, which it was set to donate to Laos after the completion of the medical assistance. Further details are unknown.
Additional details
It is unclear which specific day this donation was committed to; for now, AidData has selected the arrival date of the PLA medical to Pakse as the commitment date and checked the committment_date_estimated? field. AidData has assumed that this donation was handed over, as the PLA successfully completed Peace Train-2019. However, the specific donation date is unknown; the PLA completed its medical assistance under Peace Train-2019 on August 25, 2019 (see "中老军方携手打造“和平列车”品牌"), although it is unconfirmed whether this was the donation date of the medications and medical equipment. A PLA medical team also donated medicine to the Attapeu Provincial Government during Peace Train-2019, as captured by linked project ID#88757.
