The team of 15 Chinese medical professionals who arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on April 8, 2020, with medical equipment worth about $1.5 million, is expected to complete the mandatory 14-day isolation period today.
The team is expected to start work tomorrow after the completion of the 14-day quarantine period.
The invitation of the Chinese doctors by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 was highly criticized by most Nigerians especially doctors under the aegis of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA).
While many Nigerians who believe the conspiracy theories against China are of the opinion that the Chinese visit will do more harm than good in Nigeria, IgbereTV learnt from a reliable source close to the Honorable Minister of Health that the mission of the medical experts from China in Nigeria is not to render medical services, but to install and train on how to use the equipment donated by China as part of China Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
