Description

In April 2019, the Chinese Center for Disease Control (CCDC) committed assistance to the Pakera Regional Hospital and Georgetown Public Hospital to address a Histoplasmosis outbreak in manganese mines in Guyana, with some Chinese workers contracting the illness. On April 6, 2019 a team of medical experts from the CCDC was compiled and deployed to Georgetown Public Hospital. The CCDC also provided specialists, a laboratory, and x-ray equipment. From April 8 to April 10 a group of nine specialists came to aid in testing. This announcement came after an April outbreak of histoplasmosis at the Matthew's Ridge Tunnel mine that killed 2 Chinese workers and sickened 27 others.
