The team will work together towards supporting and improving the health system of<\/p>\n<p>Lesotho. The medical team includes six doctors, two women and four men with different specialities being; an orthopaedics, gynaecologist, general surgeon,<\/p>\n<p>radiologist, anaesthetist and an internal medicine specialist. These six doctors will start their duties at Motebang hospital Hlotse after two weeks of<\/p>\n<p>quarantine. While welcoming them, the Director Clinical Services Dr James Fan mentioned that there were about nine members from the Chinese Medical team who were working at<\/p>\n<p>Motebang Hospital, six of whom will go back to China due to the Covid-19 pandemic while three will remain with the six who arrived. He said in the Lesotho health system, the biggest challenge is that doctors with specialities<\/p>\n<p>like anaesthetist, orthopaedics, general surgeon and radiologist are mostly requested overseas. He said Lesotho government has an agreement with the Chinese government whereby China supports Lesotho in special health systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs per the arrangement between the government of Lesotho and the Chinese government, the Chinese medical team will work in<\/p>\n<p>one regional hospital, at this moment the team will work at Motebang Hospital but they also have an outreach programme for Mokhotlong, Qacha\u2019s Nek and Paray<\/p>\n<p>hospitals. They will also work together with local medical teams. They will also have interpreters who will interpret information from the patients, although<\/p>\n<p>they do understand English, the only problem is speaking,\u201d he said. The Chinese Medical team leader and the internal medicine specialist Dr Hong Yan mentioned that the Chinese team has nine members who are going to serve Basotho with high quality and standard health services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
