A rare COVID-19 epidemic is raging around the world. The epidemic is the common enemy of all mankind, and unity and cooperation are the most powerful weapons and the only correct choice for the international community to overcome the epidemic. Anti-epidemic materials rushed to the international friendship city, doctors and experts went overseas to support, and cross-border connections shared anti-epidemic experience. Greater Bay Area’s strength in the global fight against epidemic, Guangzhou is in action.
01Epidemic prevention materials rushed to the international friendship city
Help each other in the same boat. Since the global outbreak of COVID-19, Guangzhou has actively organized epidemic prevention materials to help dozens of cities in more than a dozen countries.
Liu Baochun, director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, said: "When there were epidemics in other countries in the world, we immediately extended a helping hand. We have issued three batches of materials, covering almost 40 cities, and some belong to corresponding international organizations. "
02Share Guangzhou’s anti-epidemic experience with the world
Guangzhou has been invited to attend online seminars on international epidemic prevention and control experience held by UN-Habitat, World Cities and Cities Organization, world association of major metropolises, C40 Urban Climate Leadership Alliance and World Cities and Cities Organization Asia Pacific for many times, and introduced Guangzhou’s epidemic prevention experience in detail in four seminars, vividly telling the epidemic prevention story in Guangzhou and accurately responding to foreign concerns and needs.
Tang Xiaoping, director of the Guangzhou Municipal Health and Wellness Committee, has participated in two sharing sessions: "I want to contribute our Chinese plan, or Guangzhou plan and Guangzhou wisdom through such video exchange. I think it is also very meaningful."
03 doctors and experts go overseas to support
A Chinese medical expert group sent by the Red Cross Society of China arrived in Baghdad International Airport from Guangzhou on the evening of March 7 to assist in the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Iraq. The expert group consists of seven experts, two of whom are outstanding backbones selected by the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University.
Huang Kunjin, president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, said: "In addition to the test of epidemic situation, Iraq is also facing the test of personal safety. The two doctors showed great composure and confidence in their work. They helped the local people and the local government by introducing China’s prevention and control experience. "
04"Made in Guangzhou" helps the global fight against epidemic.
"Made in Guangzhou" epidemic prevention materials and testing reagents actively help the international anti-epidemic. Among them, Guangzhou Wanfu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Daan Gene Co., Ltd. donated or provided more than 100,000 test kits to Kyrgyzstan and Iraq.
The Red Cross Society of China donated a set of nucleic acid detection laboratory equipment to Iraq, which was provided by Sun Yat-sen University Daan Gene Co., Ltd.. Chairman He Yunshao said: "Not only reagents for 50,000 people have been prepared, but also nucleic acid detection instruments, extraction instruments and a complete set of laboratory equipment. There are more than 100 boxes, weighing about 3 tons."
Wanfu Bio is one of the first batch of diagnostic reagent manufacturers with "zero defect" approved by FDA in the United States. The three novel coronavirus detection products independently developed by Wanfu Bio have obtained CE certification issued by the European Union, which can meet the needs of rapid detection and prevention of epidemic situation in various countries.
Kang Keren, senior vice president of Guangzhou Wanfu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. said: "As of April 19, our products with more than 18 million people have been urgently sent to more than 70 countries and regions around the world. We are doing our best to help the country and the world fight the epidemic together. "
In Huangpu District, Guangzhou, where Wanfu Bio and Daan Gene are located, the Customs took the initiative to open a green channel to "accelerate" the export of foreign aid materials.
Li Hong, head of the Biosafety Supervision Section of the Health and Quarantine Department of Huangpu Customs, said: "At present, 68 batches of foreign aid reagents and 3.7 million people have been approved at an accelerated pace, with zero distance, full process and online approval, and the approval time has been shortened to one working day. From March to now, our approval volume has tripled. "
The epidemic is still spreading around the world, and global efforts to fight the epidemic continue.
As Academician Zhong Nanshan said, all people should unite as one world and fight against the epidemic together. For the sake of the community of human destiny, "epidemic" is obligatory!
