During the recent National Day and Mid-autumn Festival holiday, a Chinese medical team assisting Zanzibar of Tanzania, went to the Zanzibar Irrigation Infrastructure Construction project.

The major irrigation project is being carried out by Sinohydro Bureau 9 Co, a subsidiary of POWERCHINA.

The medical team gave lectures on novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and control to staff members and gave tips on how to avoid infection.

Doctors of the medical team gave the project's employees physical examinations, treatment and consultations, involving ophthalmology, otolaryngology, internal medicine, surgery, stomatology and urology.

Members of the medical team said they hoped that the project department of Sinohydro Bureau 9 would continue to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control and employees would maintain good personal hygiene habits.

The project department has established and improved management systems for production, fire control, health and epidemic prevention, food, transportation and public security, while resuming work in an orderly manner.

The construction of the Zanzibar irrigation system is a major project in Tanzania. After its completion, the standardized drainage canals and irrigation canals will help eliminate flooding in the area and ensure water supplies.

It will also improve and increase agricultural production capacity, alleviating shortages in the local food supply and reducing the need for food imports in Tanzania.
