A Chinese medical care and epidemic prevention team would depart for Haiti from Beijing Capital International Airport this afternoon, the MOC said in a statement posted on its website.

A chartered flight would carry the 40-member medical team to Haiti. It would also carry 20 tons of medical supplies, including medicines, hygiene equipment, medical devices and camping equipment, the ministry said.
