(cityofzhuhai.com)

Updated: 2020-02-13

Seventeen Zhuhai medical personnel were dispatched to Jingzhou in southern Hubei Province, the partner city with Guangdong Province in the fight against corona virus disease (COVID-19), just two days after an earlier medical aid team left for Wuhan on Feb 9.

Aged between 23 and 46, the members of the second contingent are frontline clinicians and mainstay nurses versed in critical care and respiratory and infectious diseases. They come from Zhuhai's People's (Renmin) Hospital, Guangdong TCM Hospital, Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese & Western Medicine (2nd People's Hospital), Women's & Children's Hospital and 5th Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University.

Cui Min, vice president of Zhuhai People's Hospital, leads Guangdong's first medical aid team to Jingzhou. Zheng Wei, deputy director of the hospital's Department of Critical Care, has assumed leadership of the Zhuhai squad.

A veteran of fever clinics during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak, Zheng had worked with his colleagues to plan for the treatment of critically ill patients before departure. Zhuhai People's Hospital also collected enough supplies to ensure that the team's work could be carried out promptly upon arrival.

Moreover, Zhuhai enterprises also went all out to ensure the supply of medical equipment urgently needed in epidemic areas. For instance, Guangdong Biolight Meditech, headquartered in the Zhuhai National Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone (Tangjiawan), along with its subsidiaries has sent more than 17,000 high-quality medical devices across the country.

Four thousand sets of wireless body temperature and vital-signs monitoring systems have been sent by Biolight headquarters to Guangdong Zhong Nanshan Medical Foundation, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science & Technology and Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University in Wuhan, and 960th Hospital of the PLA and General Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Forces in Shandong Province. In addition, multi-parameter monitors were donated through Han Hong Love Charity Foundation.

Biolight's offices across the country also donated pulse oximeters to the 4th Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang of Liaoning Province, 1st People's Hospital of Nanning in Guangxi Province, and Chongqing's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Tongliang District. 

The company's workers in Wuhan have so fair installed 246 monitors at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (Hubei General Hospital) and more than 100 at Wuhan International Expo Center and Jianghan Cabin Hospital. In addition, staff recently sent 600 monitors to command centers and hospitals in Wuhan.
