THE Chinese embassy recently handed over a batch of medical supplies, valued at an estimated SBD 168,000, to support the newly opened Comprehensive Medical Center at the National Referral Hospital (NRH).

Ambassador Cai Weiming described the donation as a gesture of goodwill and friendship from the Chinese people to the people of the Solomon Islands.

“We hope they could help the newly opened NRH CMC play a greater role in providing high quality medical services to the local population,” he said during the opening of the facility on Wednesday.

The ambassador also highlighted China’s ongoing support in strengthening the Solomon Islands’ health sector, stating that over 50 medical professionals, including doctors and nurses have participated in bilateral and multilateral training programs since early 2025.

Ambassador Weiming emphasized that the new center stands as a “monument to healing and hope,” demonstrating the strength of close cooperation between China and the Solomon Islands in advancing health priorities.
