Chinese book boosts Seychelles healthcare

VICTORIA - Sun Zhanguo, a radiology expert from China, never thought that one day he would write a medical book that would prove to be quite a meaningful gift for the East African nation of the Seychelles.

Sun, 36, arrived on the archipelago - situated in the Indian Ocean - in September 2016 as part of a Chinese medical team that continues to help contribute to health service delivery in the nation which, for years, has faced a shortage of doctors.

In the Seychelles Hospital, the largest hospital in the country, a team of foreign medics drawn from China, Ukraine, Cuba and India, among others, have rolled up their sleeves to ensure that Seychellois have access to adequate healthcare services.
