As of February 2022, they have diagnosed and treated 12,600 patients and conducted 4,300 operations. The team departed the country on September 22, 2022, after 19 months of service. A farewell ceremony in their honor was attended by Chinese ambassador Li Changlin and Morocco's Secretary of Health. This project is part of a series of ongoing medical missions to Morocco that China has undertaken since 1975. These missions are part of the implementation of the China-Africa Public Health Cooperation Plan. As of March 2019, a reported total of 1,784 Chinese medical personnel have been sent to aid people across Morocco.
