Chinese aid strengthens public health capacity in Africa

Chinese doctors are putting smiles on the faces of Eritreans who have been grappling with health problems.

Doctors of the 16th Chinese medical team to Eritrea have conducted 346 surgeries and 2,120 medical imaging examinations since they arrived in the East African country on April 17. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Eritrea. Since 1997, nearly 300 Chinese doctors have worked in Eritrea.
