Vice-Minister of the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, LEI Haichao, is visiting Tunisia from Saturday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the dispatch of the first Chinese medical team to the country.
The visit will focus on bilateral cooperation programmes in a number of health sectors.
The Chinese official was received at Tunis-Carthage International Airport by the Minister of Health, Ali Mrabet.
Cooperation in the health sector between Tunisia and China dates back to 1973, and the programmes carried out in recent years have enabled the two countries to exchange experience in the provision of medical services and health monitoring in the interior of Tunisia.
