One hundred medical volunteers about the Chinese navy's floating hospital, the Peace Ark, will begin work Wednesday in Trinidad as part of a global goodwill mission.
The vessel docked at the Cruise Ship Complex, Port of Spain Tuesday morning for a 7-day visit during which its medical personnel will conduct clinics to members of the public on a first come first serve basis.

The Chinese are offering the services at the St James District Health facility from 9 to 5.
The 'Ark', which was launched three years ago, carries a sophisticated medical care system and operates as a modern floating hospital on the ocean.
It has eight operating rooms on board, and its equipment includes machines to conduct CT scan and ultrasound examination. It also has two Intensive Care Units, a triage, a blood bank, pharmacy, and hundreds of beds for burns and isolated patients.
The doctors use conventional and traditional Chinese medicine.
