Dr. Hu Sha from the China-Zimbabwe Traditional Chinese Medicine Center together with Charlotte, a local student of the center, taught the traditional Chinese fitness Qigong “Baduanjin”.
After that, the medical team provided examination and multidisciplinary consultation for some complex cases on the spot.

Working in the sun for more than five hours, the medical team provided free medical services to more than 300 people.On the same day, Hunan Chamber of Commerce in Zimbabwe also donated food including cooking oil and other daily necessities to the needy in the community.

Zimbabwe Future Foundation International-Association head Mr. Michael said: “The China medical team came to our community from afar to provide free and high-quality medical service. Thank you very much for the contribution made by the Chinese medical team to the medical and health cause of Zimbabwe. We also thank the Hunan Chamber of Commerce in Zimbabwe for the many materials donated to us. We believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, we will certainly have a positive impact on the poor villagers and children in Zimbabwe. May the friendship between China and Zimbabwe last forever.”
