Chinese Medical Team Donates Medical Supplies to Zambia

中国援赞医疗队向当地捐赠疫情防控物资

 

News from Henan Health Commission on July 2 showed that China’s 21st medical team to Zambia, together with some Chinese-funded enterprises in Zambia, donated more than 2 million kwacha (about 0.8 million RMB yuan) of medical supplies to the local hospitals for fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic.

7月2日,记者从省卫健委获悉,日前中国援赞比亚第21批医疗队联合部分在赞中资企业,向赞比亚当地医院捐赠了总价值200多万克瓦查(合80多万元人民币)的防控物资,协助赞比亚抗击新冠肺炎疫情。

The 21st Chinese medical team to Zambia in the charge of Zhengzhou Health Commission consists of 28 members from 8 local hospitals and medical institutes, namely, Zhengzhou Central Hospital, Zhengzhou No.1, No.2, No.6 and No.7 People’s Hospital, Zhengzhou People’s Hospital, Zhengzhou Children’s Hospital, and Henan University of Chinese Medicine.

中国援赞比亚第21批医疗队共有28名队员,由郑州市卫健委作为责任单位,以郑州市中心医院为主体,郑州市第一、第二、第六、第七人民医院,郑州人民医院,郑州儿童医院,河南中医药大学等8家单位共同组建。

 

So far, Zambia’s 10 provinces have reported confirmed cases. Moreover, some of their fontline medical workers unfortunately became infected due to shortage of protective materials. Thus, the Chinese medial team worked hard to contact Chinese-funded enterprises in Zambia, such as Power Construction Corporation of China and AVIC International Holding Corporation, and donated more than 2 million kwacha (about 0.8 million RMB yuan) of medical supplies to the local hospitals, including 55 thousand of surgical masks, 500 boxes of hand sanitizers as well as N95 masks, medial goggles, protective clothing, etc.

目前,赞比亚10个省份均报告了新冠肺炎确诊病例,但由于防护物资紧缺,赞比亚一线卫生工作者被感染的情况时有发生。医疗队多方协调,向中国电建、中航国际等中资企业争取资源,为该院捐赠了总价值200多万克瓦查的防控物资,包括5.5万只外科口罩、500箱洗手液及N95口罩、护目镜、防护服等。

 

Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, China’s 21st medical team to Zambia has promptly joined in its epidemic prevention and control efforts to build a strong defense line against the pandemic for local people and the overseas Chinese.

赞比亚发生新冠肺炎疫情后,中国援赞比亚第21批医疗队就积极投入到当地疫情防控工作中,为当地民众和在赞华人华侨筑起一道抗击新冠肺炎疫情的坚固屏障。(中文来源/河南日报 翻译/赵汉青 审校/丁岚)
