The thirteenth batch of the Chinese medical team has arrived in South Sudan to conduct a one-year medical mission in general medicine, surgery, and traditional Chinese medicine.

The 16-member team will be deployed at Juba Teaching Hospital, where they will offer outpatient care, surgical operations, traditional medicine treatment, laboratory tests, and image testing.

The team will also conduct outreach services to rural communities and orphanages, delivering free checkups, treatment, medical supplies, and donations of food and other essentials.

Speaking during the welcoming ceremony of the team at the Chinese Embassy in Juba, National Health Minister Sarah Cleto Rial urged the new team to continue to provide excellent medical services, deepen medical exchanges and cooperation with South Sudan.
