THE partnership between the Affiliated Hospital of the Guizhou Medical University of China, and Solomon Islands National Referral Hospital has been hailed as one of the most practical and meaningful pillars of the Solomon Islands-China bilateral cooperation.
In his remarks during a visit by a Solomon Islands media delegation to the Guizhou Medical Universityโs Affiliated Hospital in Guiyang, the capital of Chinaโs Guizhou Province on Friday 26 June 2026, head of delegation and Deputy Special Secretary to the Prime Minister (DSSPM) Barnabas Henson said, โThe health cooperation stands as one of the finest examples of this partnership.โ
Henson highlighted that this partnership is currently delivering tangible benefits to people in Solomon Islands whilst strengthening the enduring friendship between the two nations.
โThe results speak for themselves. Together, the China Medical Teams that have been in Solomon Islands have delivered, according to our records, more than 23, 000 medical consultations, nearly 16,000 acupuncture treatments and have performed more than 190 minimally invasive urological surgeries and introduced specialist procedures that were previously unavailable in Solomon Islands,โ he emphasised.
โSince the first China Medical Team (CMT) arrived in Solomon Islands in 2022, it is now the fifth team currently on the ground, serving our country by providing much-needed specialist expertise that has strengthened healthcare.
โEqually important has been the transfer of knowledge and skills to local doctors, nurses and aligned health professionals and we are so proud that we have three sitting here with us today, which is helping to build a stronger and more resilient national health system for Solomon Islands,โ he added.
Henson also hailed the Solomon Islands-China bilaterial relations as a comprehensive strategic partnership founded on mutual respect, practical cooperation and shared development aspirations.
He then conveyed โsincereโ gratitude on behalf of the Solomon Islands Prime Minister, government and people to the government of Guizhou Province, the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University and every member of the China Medical Teams that have served in Solomon Islands for their dedication, professionalism and friendship.
โWe look forward to deepening the relationship in specialist medicine, medical education, research, innovation and health workforce development for many years to come.
โI wish the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University continued success in its noble mission of improving lives through excellence in healthcare,โ Henson said.
