In November 2019, Zhang Chaozhong accompanied the 15th batch of Chadian medical teams from China (Jiangxi) to carry out a one-year foreign aid medical mission at the Sino-Chagar Friendship Hospital. He straightened out the workflow of the Zhongzha Eye Center and overcame many difficulties to provide more than 1,000 outpatient emergency services and more than 200 surgeries and operations for Chadian patients.

Zhang Chaozhong has performed surgery for congenital cataract children many times, and worked with Chadian optometrists to plan a postoperative amblyopia treatment plan to escort the vision recovery of local children with congenital cataracts. His technical level is deeply trusted by the local people of Chad, and every patient he receives, he carefully inquires about the condition, does not let go of every link, and always gives the best treatment plan when encountering difficult diseases. All his free time was spent teaching Chadian medical staff, guiding them to learn the standardized eye diagnosis process in depth, teaching Chadian ophthalmologists ultrasound emulsification surgery operations, and Chadian medical staff also learned to "like" him.
