国内英语资讯:9th Chinese medical team to continue providing free medical services in PNG

SYDNEY, June 23 --The 9th Chinese medical team completed the handover with the 8th team in Papua New Guinea (PNG) on Friday, according to the Economic and Commercial Counsellor's Office of the Chinese Embassy to PNG.

The 8th Chinese medical team has been working in Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH) since April 2017.

During their stay, the team members worked shoulder to shoulder with medical staff in PMGH and introduced advanced skills and services.

They performed over 300 delicate operations and introduced the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) skills, which greatly improves the diagnostic veracity.

The medical team also visited other provinces and cities, providing free medical services and medicines to local people.

The 9th Chinese medical team will spare no effort to integrate into PMGH and continue to promote medical services and help keep PNG people healthy.

In addition, the team will provide extensive medical training and education in PNG, as well as promote the construction of Sino-PNG Center for Urology Minimally Invasive Surgery in PMGH, which will be the most advanced and sophisticated one in PNG.

At the news conference, PNG's deputy secretary of Health Paison Dakulala said the arrival of Chinese doctors provide timely help for this country.

"It's always an important occasion to have those expertise come to our country," Dakulala said.

"For Papua New Guinea, we have 500 doctors for the whole country of 8 million people, and that's completely different when we look at the Chinese context,"
