Chinese doctors on Thursday provided free clinical services to local people in the Pya area of northern Togo’s Kozah Prefecture.
The event, hosted by the Pya Medical and Social Center, was jointly carried out by the two Chinese medical teams currently working in Togo’s Lome and Kara, with Chinese specialists in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, traumatology, and acupuncture conducting a total of 579 free consultations.
“We give not only high-quality medical services, but also Chinese people’s care and love, to our Togolese brothers and sisters, especially those living in rural areas where medical resources are relatively scarce,” said Bai Li, head of the Chinese medical teams in Togo.
“We look forward to continuing, in the days ahead, to work hand in hand with our Togolese colleagues to jointly improve the health and well-being of Togolese people,” he added.
Tchabana Damba Prudence, a 28-year-old from Pya, had endured eight years of pelvic, lower back, and knee pain caused by complications during childbirth.
During the free clinical services event, she received a traditional Chinese medicine consultation with acupuncture treatment. “I already feel great relief; my pain has significantly decreased,” she said.
Yovon Damessi, head of the Pya Medical and Social Center, lauded the health cooperation between Togo and China, which has bolstered initiatives to improve the health conditions of Togolese people. Enditem
