21st China Medical Team to work in Guyana’s 2 main medical centres

The 21st Chinese Medical Team (CMT), an elite group of highly trained professional doctors, arrived in Guyana last week, to complete the work handover from the departing 20th CMT, and begin their news duties here. The dedicated team of specialists will be working alongside local staff across various departments for the next year at both the Georgetown and Linden Hospitals—Guyana’s two main medical centres.

The team is made up of doctors covering multiple medical fields such as nephrology, surgery, anaesthesia, traditional Chinese medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, ophthalmology, radiology and pathology.

Each member has a solid foundation of medical theory and rich clinical practical experience and can skilfully use advanced medical technology and equipment to provide high-quality medical services for Guyanese.

During the handover period, the outgoing CMT and incoming CMT teams met with various Government institutions to be commended and welcomed respectively, and began to acclimate themselves to the work in the local health sector.
For more than thirty years, the Chinese medical team has served Guyana, helping to lift the quality of healthcare in the country and has also become a bridge of the friendship between China and Guyana.
