香港六合彩中特网 partners and alumni in China have rallied to support the university in its efforts to fight COVID-19 by donating valuable time and resources

Peking University, Zheijang University and many Chinese alumni have sent vital supplies of personal protective equipment (PPE) to assist 香港六合彩中特网H staff caring for patients and to support 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 testing and research.

More than 220,000 pieces of PPE, including masks, coveralls and goggles, have been offered to 香港六合彩中特网 from alumni and supporters in Greater China so far. The 香港六合彩中特网 Coronavirus Response Fund was launched in March and 香港六合彩中特网 has now raised over 拢480,000 to help find solutions to the challenges that coronavirus brings, at a pace that would, under normal circumstances, be considered impossible.

Many 香港六合彩中特网 alumni have also dedicated their time to supporting hospitals in China. Hang Wang, who graduated from MSc Telecommunications in 2009, has spearheaded 香港六合彩中特网 alumni support of Chinese hospitals in Henan, organising 20 boxes of PPE to Zhengzhou First Affiliated Hospital and Zhengzhou Municipal People's government.

Partners in China and around the globe have also been sharing their knowledge and experiences of coping with the pandemic so far. 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 President and Provost, Professor Michael Arthur, has written to thank them personally for their ongoing support.

Since COVID-19 emerged, 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 world-leading experts have been involved in all aspects of the challenge, from developing rapid testing and tracking systems and predicting the future of the outbreak, to advising and critiquing government responses to the crisis.

香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Coronavirus Response Fund has been helping to transform challenge into change through raising critical funding to support the university鈥檚 activity. It is enabling immediate research to better understand the virus and find a vaccine, as well as work to assess the long-term impacts it may have.

Hiu Ng, Founding President of the Alumni Club of Beijing, and her husband Daniel Foa have donated surgical masks and made generous financial contributions to both 香港六合彩中特网H and the 香港六合彩中特网 Coronavirus Response Fund for PPE supplies and urgent research.聽

Hiu said the couple, who are both 香港六合彩中特网 Honorary Fellows, had wanted to support 香港六合彩中特网 as part of their commitment to raising awareness of the long-term impact of climate change: "Every little droplet of positive action from all corners of the world added together can form a transformative wave of love. This viral epidemic reminds us that we can no longer ignore the signals from climate change.

鈥淥ur united efforts are a part of the solution. Mankind must live responsibly and consciously. We hope through these challenging times that countries around the world become even kinder, wiser and more environmentally friendly."

Other alumni from across China have also rallied support for 香港六合彩中特网 during this time. Qiannan Xiao, who graduated in 2017 with an MPA in Science Technology Engineering and Public Policy, organised the offer of 12,000 masks to 香港六合彩中特网H from Shenzhen Unilumin Group. Qiannan is an active member of 香港六合彩中特网 Club of Beijing and has volunteered at a number of events in China, including the 香港六合彩中特网 China Graduation Celebration last November.聽

香港六合彩中特网 Club of Beijing members have donated to this date 167,200 pairs of medical gloves, 448,950 pieces of聽medical grade聽surgical masks, 1,800 sets of protective suits, 3,200 thermometers, 850 vacuum-packed Halal roasted chicken, all the administrative and logistical delivery costs and additionally cash donations of nearly 拢40,000 to 130 receiving units and individuals聽in聽21聽countries and territories.

Katharine Carruthers, 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Pro-Vice-Provost (East Asia) described how moved 香港六合彩中特网 staff have been by the offers of support, advice and lifesaving equipment in the face of the crisis.

She said: 鈥淲e are immensely grateful to 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 amazing community of alumni, partners and supporters who have offered their time and resources to us. Their swift response perfectly demonstrates the importance of continued global collaboration during challenging times like these.鈥�
