Chinese medical delegation including Professor Zhang Xingwei and Senator Clement Antonio makes courtesy visit to Ambassador Jiang Wei

A delegation from the Center for Caribbean Studies at Hangzhou Normal University has held talks with the Chinese Ambassador to Antigua and Barbuda to advance plans for expanded medical cooperation.

Professor Zhang Xingwei, a leading cardiovascular specialist and head of the university’s Affiliated Hospital, led the team during Friday’s courtesy visit to Ambassador Jiang Wei. He outlined proposals to support long-term improvements in Antigua and Barbuda’s healthcare system.

The projects under discussion include the creation of a Chest Pain Centre, a cardiovascular interventional training programme, and an Internet hospital platform aimed at widening digital access to medical services. Zhang said the initiatives would help strengthen local diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through technology transfer and specialist training.

Ambassador Jiang welcomed the delegation and described health cooperation as a key element of China’s partnership with Antigua and the wider Caribbean. She called for careful planning and thorough feasibility studies to ensure the proposed projects deliver “tangible benefits” to the public.

Senator Clement Antonio attended the meeting on behalf of the government, signalling Antigua and Barbuda’s interest in expanding medical collaboration with international partners.

  1. Interesting development. China has been investing heavily in Caribbean healthcare, it’ll be important to see how these projects are implemented long-term.

  2. Great news. Professor Zhang seems like someone with real experience. Partnerships like this can make a major difference for prevention and early treatment.

  3. If managed well, partnerships like this can strengthen critical services and ease some of the system’s pressure points.

  4. Research on the Covid 19 virus began in California. It’s illegal to do gain of function research in California so the research was transferred to China then the virus was deliberately unleashed on the world.
