Hospitals in Chinaa have issued appeals to receive donations of protective medical products, including face masks and protective suits, goggles, and masks. Many hospitals are lacking supplies or at risk of lacking supplies in the future due to large numbers of patients seeking treatment. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that many domestic factories that produce medical supplies are shut down during Spring Festival.
Americans, Canadians, and others have already responded to the call to donate goods. Now I have summarized two of the press releases and listed the addresses for other hospitals, should any of my readers wish to donate goods that could be useful. I have contacted some of the contact people at some of the hospitals listed, and they confirmed they would be happy to receive goods from abroad. If anyone needs any help with how to send packages to China or has questions, you can email me or contact me by email or on Facebook.
Probably the easiest thing for most people to send would be N95/surgical face masks (GB19083-2010, which is a Chinese standard) or gloves, but protective suits and other advanced protective products would be extremely useful.
Social Contributions Needed for (Nanjing) Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital Announcement
My introduction: Nanjing, the city where I have lived for four years, is the capital of Jiangsu. It is the coastal province of 80 million bordering Shanghai to the west and north. It has 70 confirmed cases, as of January 28, which puts it about in the middle of the pack of severity. It is not the most severe, but medical personnel everywhere need any support that others can offer them. Nanjing has been good to me over the years.
Jiangsu People’s Hospital is on the front line of the fight to prevent the spread of the new form of coronavirus. It has been chosen as the main hospital in the region to receive patients suspected of having the virus.
“Because the number of people seeking medical attention every day is quite high and there are many medical personnel, in order to better treat the ill and better protect frontline medical workers, our hospital is opening a channel to accept donations, a standardized channel that will accept legal donations from people of all social circles.”
The following goods are needed:
N95 face masks,
medical-grade surgical masks,
medical-grade protection suits,
quarantine suits,
protective goggles,
protective masks
“The above one-time use medical-grade protective goods must come in full packaging and within the listed period of effectiveness. Some of the protective goods must meet or surpass national standards.”
