Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the team extended their original one-year tenure.

In March, when the first confirmed COVID-19 patient was reported in the nation, the China-Sierra Leone Friendship Hospital became the designated hospital to receive COVID-19 patients in moderate and serious condition.

"We faced the great challenge of providing medical facilities and medicine for COVID-19 patients," said Luo Kaizhong, deputy chief physician from the infectious diseases department of Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. "Therefore, we had to try our best to use all our skills as doctors during the treatment, such as manually counting the patient's heart rate, breathing rate and other basic tests to help diagnose their conditions."
