What is the working status of the China Foreign Aid Medical Expert Group? How to protect your health and safety?

Some time ago, China received extensive support from the international community at the most difficult time to fight the epidemic. At present, the situation of epidemic prevention and control in China continues to improve, and we feel empathy for the countries and regions affected by the epidemic. Under the coordination of the joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council, we have recently sent medical experts to Italian, Serbian, Cambodian, Pakistani and Venezuelan countries. The expert group was established by the National Health and Wellness Committee and selected from relevant provinces and cities. Its professional fields cover public health, clinical diagnosis and treatment, psychological consultation and traditional Chinese medicine.

The task of the expert group is to cooperate and communicate with local health administrative departments, medical and health institutions and experts, communicate epidemic information, share prevention and control experience, carry out various forms of professional training, provide consultation and guidance, and also provide help to local Chinese and overseas Chinese and China students.

The expert group has been highly valued and welcomed by the local government. In Serbia, the expert group was greeted and received by the President and the Prime Minister, and was twice invited to attend the meeting of Serbia's national prevention and control headquarters to discuss prevention and control strategies. Serbia spoke highly of the expert group's knowledge and professional ability, and adopted China's opinions on adjusting prevention and control strategies. In Cambodia, Prime Minister Hun Sen broadcast live the relevant work of our expert group on his social media account. In Italy, the China expert group also put forward prevention and control suggestions, which were highly valued by Italy. The expert group also coordinated Italian hospitals to establish video contact with relevant domestic medical institutions, answered their questions and conducted professional exchanges. Experts sent to Pakistan and Venezuela are also working with local health departments and medical institutions.

In addition, we also attach great importance to the health and safety of medical experts. During its stay abroad, the expert group received personal care and leadership from Chinese embassies and consulates abroad. Before sending the expert group, we signed a cooperation agreement with the relevant governments, which is legally guaranteed. This agreement clarifies the responsibilities of all parties and ensures the health and safety of the expert group. At the same time, we provided enough personal protective equipment for the expert group and reminded them to strengthen self-protection. So please rest assured.
