At 00:16 on the morning of December 7, the telephone in the on-duty room of the Chinese Peacekeeping Medical Team in Sudan suddenly rang, the team was ordered by the Second Theatre Headquarters of the UN Special Mission in Sudan (UNSMS) to get ready to receive a seriously wounded UN employee. Thus a medical rescue operation for saving the life of a wounded UN employee kicked off at midnight.

　　As the patient's condition was very grave and might deteriorated at any time, and in light of the scope of medical treatment responsibility laid down by the UNSMS, the patient was sent by a helicopter to a three-grade hospital in Khartoum under the escort of three Chinese medical personnel at 09:20 on the morning of December 7.
