Chinese medical staff put aside their own discomfort to secure the well-being of the Mauritanian people The dispatch of medical corps to Mauritania by the Chinese Government was initiated in April 1968, with Heilongjiang Province in northeast China assigned the task. Over the past 38 years, more than 1,000 medical workers from Heilongjiang treated nearly 1 million patients in Mauritania. This means that two out of every five people in the country have received treatment from Chinese doctors. The most recent squad is the 27th of its kind.
