On March 28, 2020, the Chinese Government dispatched a medical team of 8 experts to Pakistan to assist the government in its fight against COVID-19.

While in Pakistan, the medical expert team will conduct business exchanges with representatives of Pakistani doctors, provide consultations of pandemic control, conduct treatment and laboratory work, and train Pakistani medical staff. The medical expert team will stay in Pakistan for two weeks and will also visit Punjab and Sindh provinces.
