KHARTOUM, June 11-- Sudanese officials and specialists highly praised the visit of a Chinese medical team, which on Thursday concluded a two-week mission of supporting Sudan's fight against COVID-19. Nada Bakri, director of the General Administration of Therapeutic Medicine at Sudan's Federal Health Ministry, praised the visit of the Chinese medical team and China's support to Sudan's fight against the pandemic. "There were deep discussions and consultations that were so beneficial and important to us," she said. The Chinese experts have gained rich experience in dealing with the pandemic "whether at the levels of diagnosis or treatment or even decisions related to preventing and protecting the community against the disease spread," Bakri noted. The Chinese team of medical experts have visited some hospitals and isolation centers in Sudan, she said. She further noted that the Chinese experts also met with Sudanese counterparts tasked with mapping out the protocols and plans for COVID-19 prevention and treatment. Omer Gamar-Eddin, Sudan's state minister for foreign affairs, hailed China's support to Sudan. "We thank the friendly state of China for this medical assistance and for the visit of the Chinese medical team which visited a number of medical sites in Sudan," Gamar-Eddin, who saw off the Chinese medical team at the Khartoum airport, told Xinhua. "We hope the China-Sudan ties would continue, and we hope to continue working with the People's Republic of China in its work to support Sudan in its development and in the fields of health, education, agriculture and others," he added. |
