All the equipment and materials of the Chinese medical team have reached the standards stipulated by the United Nations. Officials from the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) all agreed that the Chinese medical teams are well-prepared, well-organized and meet high standards.

The 18th Chinese peacekeeping force to Lebanon was deployed to the mission area in May 2019. The medical team has offered medical services to more than 1,000 local residents.
