Ten months have passed so quickly since our first arrival at The Gambia after China Medical Team Four started off from China on 8 of November, 2020, when the COVID19 was raging throughout the world, and The Gambia was also suffering from such an epidemic disease. The life here is unforgettable to us.
The team members and local workers
As the first Chinese medical team aiding Africa after Africa’s resume to flight during the epidemic period, we have experienced differently, from feeling from being perturbed to facing up to difficulties, from being busy and strange calm to getting calm and skillful.
Free clinic: physical check for local workers, donation of medicines and COVID19 protection goods
On the occasion of the China’s National Day, in order to both to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and to enhance our friendship with our Gambian workers, China Medical Team has held a small volunteer activity on the 26th September.
Volunteers: Team members took part in voluntary labor to help local workers clean up garbage, cut grass, and spray.
This activity has deepened the understanding between team members and the local workers, and enhanced out friendship. These workers expressed their deep gratitude for our volunteering activities, and said to work harder to provide team members with higher quality services, to provide an excellent living environment, and to solve worries after the team members go to work.
The team members
In Africa, despite the challenges of living and working, the complex and volatile situation of the epidemic, and the huge risk of infection and adverse prognosis for everyone, China Medical Team will continue to hold its post and fulfil its mission, and to promote China-Gambia medical and health cooperation to a new level.
