Maputo, Mozambique — On June 12, 2025, members of the 25th Chinese medical team extended their compassion and expertise by offering free clinic services in Maputo, the country’s bustling capital. This initiative took place at the Incassane Rural Health Center, where ten dedicated professionals, ranging from specialists in gynecology to urology, attended to around 360 patients. They provided important consultations and free medicines, significantly alleviating healthcare burdens for the local community.
Among the services offered were orthopedics, spinal surgery, acupuncture, pain management, rehabilitation, and general surgery. This breadth of care not only touches on immediate health concerns but demonstrates a holistic approach to well-being. Additionally, to further aid local residents, the team prepared Portuguese-language educational posters, enhancing understanding of common health issues and preventative measures.
Local resident Argina Rosario, a patient seeking gynecological assistance, expressed her gratitude towards the visiting doctors. “They deserve our appreciation. In other hospitals, the treatment process is complicated and exhausting, often making us give up halfway. I truly hope today’s visit will improve my condition,” she voiced, sharing her experience with the team.
Another patient, 78-year-old Cristina Francisco, commended the attentive care she received, which she felt was particularly accommodating to her age. “At my age, it’s hard to queue at the hospital. Today, I not only received treatment near my home but also got real, tangible help,” she emphasized, highlighting the importance of accessible medical services.
Ilidio Silva Cavele, who serves as the director of the Incassane Rural Health Center, shared his appreciation for the initiative. “We are very pleased and thankful for this activity. The support from multiple Chinese specialists has significantly improved our medical capacity. They not only provided free consultations but also donated medicine. We hope this cooperation continues and contributes to the development of our country,” he remarked.
Leading the 25th Chinese medical team, Ma Litai pointed out that this year marks an important milestone—the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Mozambique. He emphasized their commitment to serving local communities, stating, “We have already carried out two free clinics this year and will continue to reach local communities to serve the people and strengthen exchanges and technical cooperation with local healthcare professionals.”
This collaborative effort exemplifies the power of international cooperation in addressing health care challenges and improving quality of life for those in need. The positive impact and gratitude expressed by locals affirm the beneficial role that healthcare initiatives can play in Mozambique.
The 25th Chinese medical team’s provision of free clinic services in Maputo underscores the importance of international healthcare initiatives. With over 360 patients receiving vital medical attention and education, the collaboration between Chinese specialists and local healthcare professionals is set to enhance medical capacity in Mozambique. As the two nations celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations, continued cooperation appears promising for improved health outcomes in the future.
