On August 12, 2018 the Chinese Embassy in Tanzania hosted a farewell party for 30 Tanzanian medical professionals from national and provincial hospitals who were sponsored by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce to attend a one month training seminar in Hunan on hospital management practices. The medical professionals were sent off alongside 20 Tanzanian students who received medical scholarships (captured in Record ID#88100). The farewell ceremony was attended by dignitaries and officials from both China and Tanzania including: Chinese Ambassador Wang Ke and Tanzanian Minister of Education Ndali Chako. The training course was provided in response to a November 2017 request from Tanzanian President John Magufuli for Chinese assistance in developing Tanzania's human resources in the field of medicine of which Chinese President Xi Jinping responded and approved.
