The Alliance for Smiles team from the United States, Australia, Egypt and Nanjing arrive in Chuzhou today for the March 2019 Chuzhou Mission. Our team consists of 5 doctors, 5 nurses, a mission director, photographer, recordkeeper, ward coordinator, a doctor of dentistry, a dental hygienist, and a dental assistant.

Shortly after our arrival, we went to the Children’s Hospital of the First People’s Hospital of Chuzhou to meet with the local hospital team and students from Chuzhou University volunteering as translators.

In order to get ready for our patients on Day 1, we had to set up the operating rooms, recovery rooms, anesthesia equipment and unpack and sort our medical supplies.

We are benefiting from the outstanding state-of-the-art Children’s Hospital of the First People’s Hospital of Chuzhou and it’s amazing team of doctors and nurses and making us feel so welcomed and cared for.
