JUBA, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- The 11th batch of the Chinese medical team on Thursday handed over modern equipment and reagents to support the newly established microbiology laboratory in Juba Teaching Hospital, South Sudan's main referral.

The existing laboratory had been ill-equipped for years, said Anthony Lupai, director general of Juba Teaching Hospital, stressing that the equipment and reagents provided by the Chinese medical team would transform testing and accurate diagnosis of sick patients.
