The Chinese medical experts who were on a special mission to help Djiboutian people fight COVID-19 left the country on Monday after winning honors for their work. At a ceremony held Sunday in the capital Djibouti, Prime Minister Abdoulkader Kamil Mohamed awarded the Independent Day Medals to the Chinese medical team, praising its efforts to fight COVID-19 in this Horn of Africa country. He spoke highly of the work and professionalism of the experts, noting that they have visited different medical facilities, held consultations with local colleagues, and offered professional and practical suggestions. The Independent Day Medal was established on 27 June, 1978, when Djibouti became independent. It was generally awarded to less than three people at a time.
