Full Description

Project narrative

On June 18, 2020, China donated a batch of medical supplies to Guinea-Bissau. The materials included 10,000 test kits, 15,000 N95 masks, 5,000 medical gowns, 7,000 medical goggles, 15,000 surgical masks, 7,000 disposable medical gloves and 3,000 disposable shoe covers. The exact value of this donation is unknown. The handover ceremony for this donation was held on June 18, right after the materials arrived at the Osvaldo Vieira International Airport. The materials were handed over by Chinese Ambassador to Guinea-Bissau Jin Hongjun on behalf of the Chinese government, and were given to Evora, the Minister of Women, Family and Social Solidarity, who was representing the Guinea-Bissau side. The materials were then delivered to Guinea-Bissau's High Commission for Covid-19 for distribution.
