A twenty-member medical team from Taiwan has arrived in Xining, capital city of Qinghai province. The team is ready to provide treatment to people injured in Wednesday's Yushu quake.
The medical team, bringing more than 1000 kilograms of medicine and equipment, arrived at the Cao-jia-pu airport in Xining on Sunday night. The team will work with mainland doctors... to treat more than 70 injured people at the No.1 People's Hospital in Xining.
The team's 20 medical staff consist of mainly surgeons and public health workers. All of them have first-aid experience in earthquake and flood rescue missions. Some of them were also part of rescue and medical efforts in 2008 during the Wenchuan earthquake.
