He said that China was also amongst the first to send COVID-19 vaccines and medical equipment to Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n<p>The President also noted that his country was forever grateful to the People\u2019s Republic of China for being a true friend, adding that Sierra Leone would always cherish the bilateral relationship that had existed for over half a century.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the government, President Bio warmly welcomed the 24th Chinese Medical Team and expressed hope that the current batch of medical professionals, which also included the 7th Chinese Military Expert Medical Group and the 8th China CDC Biosafety Lab Expert, would take back to China pleasant memories of a beautiful country and its good people.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by congratulating the government and people of China for half a century of medical charity to Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Ambassador Wang, who led the Chinese delegation, observed that 2023 was a special year for China-Sierra Leone medical and health cooperation, celebrating the 50th anniversary of China dispatching medical teams to Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded the gathering that the 50-year relationship between the two countries had improved the country\u2019s public health systems with the construction of health facilities, training of health workers and supply of medical equipment, among others.<\/p>\n\r\n
