NO.7 Chinese military assigned troops to aid West Africa in fighting Ebola for the first time

Event playback: The Chinese military has successively assigned about 300 people in multiple medical teams to Sierra Leone and Liberia, areas in West Africa that are seriously hit by Ebola, since mid-September. It built in Sierra Leone an Ebola patient observation and treatment center with 78 beds and a diagnosis and treatment center in Liberia with 100 beds.
