Chinese doctors helped kids at a school on Thursday. They came all the way from China to the town in Cameroon. These health experts checked teeth, shared health tips, and spoke about keeping germs away. Over 80 students and school staff learned from these visits. The medical team brought books and school things for the children as gifts.
"The Chinese doctors taught me about germs and diseases. I found out how to clean my teeth right and wash my hands well. They showed me good ways to act healthy," Stephane told others after class. The team boss, Ren Qinglan, promised more help soon: "We just started here. Our team plans many free health trips to help local families." She said they want to reach more people across the area.
China has sent doctors to help Cameroon since 1975. Shanxi Province has shipped 24 groups of medical helpers to African soil. The count runs high—786 Chinese health pros have worked there through the years. Right now, the medical teams split their work between two places. Half stay in the big city of Yaounde. The rest help people in the smaller towns, where they visit schools like this one.
