With Benin's hot weather, humid climate and mosquitoes, doctors work to prevent infectious diseases such as malaria, typhoid and AIDS, and they sometimes do their work when water and power supplies are off. Local government awarded members of Chinese teams medals of honor 32 times.
Li Furong, the leader of the team, said China and Benin have a deep friendship characterized by long-term cooperation in the medical sector. Team members will continue to offer medical aid to protect life and health, and will continue to enhance exchanges with local doctors, Li said.
