The 20th Chinese medical mission dispatched to Burundi carried out cataract operations in a medical aid program free of charge. A total of 47 impoverished patients underwent cataract operations at the Umugiraneza Hospital of Kibimba in the district of Giheta. During a visit to the hospital, Burundian First Lady Angeline Ndayishimiye spoke highly of China's contributions to promoting the development of public health in Burundi.

The 20th Chinese medical mission dispatched to Burundi has been working in the country for a year. Previously, China sent medical aid teams to Burundi in 2016 and in 2018 also to carry out free cataract operations.
