Chinese doctors lend healing hands in the Gambia

BANJUL — On Monday afternoon in the obstetrics and gynecology operating room of Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital in Gambia's capital Banjul, a local patient anxiously awaited her surgery.

There was a cyst in her right adnexal region, a condition that required laparoscopic exploration.

The lead surgeon for this operation was Yang Qing, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.
