Project narrative

On April 8, 2020, the Chinese Government officially sent 12 medical experts from Yunnan Province medical institutions to Myanmar to help fight the spread of COVID-19 (see Record ID#93378). During their stay, the team visited 43 medical institutions in Rangoon and Mandalay and held more than 50 exchange activities. For example, they visited Mandalay General Hospital's Department of Emergency Medicine to observe COVID-19 patients and discussed best practices for treating them. The team returned to China two weeks later on April 22, 2020. When the Chinese medical team arrived at Yangon Airport on April 8, 2020, they donated 5.3 tons of medical equipment to the Myanmar Ministry of Health and Sports which included: 8,500 N95 masks, 60,000 medical masks, 5,500 sets of PPE, and a testing lab (see Record ID#90263). Moreover, the Chinese medical team also donated drugs worth RMB 4,337,334.25 to the Myanmar Ministry of Health and Sports (see Record ID#93379). Record ID#93378 captures the technical assistance.
