During this, the hospital ship will visit several countries, including Nauru, Fiji, Tonga, Mexico, Jamaica, Brazil, Barbados, Peru, Chile, and Papua New Guinea, to offer humanitarian medical services.

The ship has 14 clinical departments, 7 auxiliary diagnostic units which enable it to perform more than 60 kinds of medical procedures including general surgery, orthopaedics, obstetrics, gynaecology and more.

An onboard helicopter enhances its emergency medical rescue capabilities.

The mission team comprises medical support personnel from the PLA Southern Theater Command Navy, members from Joint Logistic Support Force, the Northern Theater Command Navy, and the Naval Medical University.
