SINGAPORE, Apr 24, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - ZALL Foundation, in
partnership with the Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation has
launched an ebook on Alibaba's Global MediXchange to help
governments and front line medical professionals set up and operate
'Fangcang shelter hospitals' to empower countries around the world
in their fight against COVID-19. Fangcang shelter hospitals are
large-scale, temporary hospitals, rapidly built by converting
existing public venues, such as stadiums and exhibition centres,
into health-care facilities. They were first implemented in Wuhan
in February and played an important role in China's fight against
COVID-19.
ZALL Group was among the first to help set up emergency hospitals
in China, at the onset of the outbreak. It has set up seven
emergency hospitals in Wuhan, Huanggang and Suizhou cities of
Hubei, and three Fangcang shelter hospitals in Wuhan, comprising
more than 9,500 beds to take in and treat patients infected with
the coronavirus. Two of the first three Fangcang Shelter Hospitals
set up in Wuhan were redeveloped by ZALL Group Property from
existing buildings, while ZALL Foundation was responsible for the
provision of essential medical supplies and logistical support to
facilitate the running of these shelter hospitals. In total, the
two shelter hospitals have been instrumental in diagnosing,
treating and curing 3,663 patients.
Mr Yan Zhi, Founder of ZALL Foundation commented, "Drawing from our
practical experience in containing COVID-19, Fangcang shelter
hospitals could be powerful components of national responses
towards COVID-19, as well as future epidemics and public health
emergencies. We have prepared this resource to share our knowledge
and experience on the operation of Fangcang shelter hospitals so
that we may better support countries around the world to build and
operate the Fangcang as soon as possible to collectively contribute
towards global efforts to fight against COVID-19."
Mr Yan's sentiments echoed an earlier statement from Jack Ma,
Founder of Jack Ma Foundation, who had said: "Hospitals in outbreak
countries are facing huge challenges coping with the surge of
patients. At this moment, we can't beat this virus unless we
eliminate boundaries to resources and share our know-how and
hard-earned lessons."
Under the medical expertise and guidance of Professor Wang Chen,
this ebook encompasses knowledge and experience distilled from the
running of these Fangcang shelter hospitals, and will cover five
important aspects, namely the proposal, design, renovation,
operation and logistical support for shelter hospitals. This ebook
aims to be a useful reference for epidemic prevention and control
work in regions around the world.
Currently, the ebook has been published in English and Mandarin,
and will be translated by volunteers from all over the world into
more than 20 different languages.
