A China-aided medical center in the Solomon Islands has received 14,600 outpatient visits and performed 191 minimally invasive surgeries in its first year of operation.
The China-Aid Comprehensive Medical Center (CMC) at the National Referral Hospital in Honiara opened in June 2025. Since then, it has introduced cardiovascular intervention, urology, neurosurgery, and breast surgery, allowing more patients to receive treatment locally rather than traveling overseas.
"If China could be here for a long time, we could have saved more lives lost to heart problems," Facebook user Pagziiman Matupiko wrote in a comment.
