Summary

Machine summary

The PLA Navy hospital ship Jixiang Fangzhou completed a six-day port call at Dakar on October 1 as part of the Harmonious Mission-2026 (和谐使命-2026) deployment, treating 6,060 patients aboard, performing 29 surgeries across ophthalmology and general surgery, conducting 61 health examinations, and extending forward medical teams to local community health centers that treated an additional 350 patients. The visit documents the standard Harmonious Mission template — shipboard clinical care, forward community outreach, and local medical personnel training — now running under the 2026 mission designation, confirming the deployment series has continued into at least its current iteration. What remains unknown is the ship's next port of call and the full itinerary of this mission cycle.
