China sends medical experts to Uzbekistan to help fight COVID-19

Invited by the Uzbekistan government, a Chinese medical working group Friday left Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province, for Uzbekistan to help with the fight against COVID-19.

The 15-member team includes 10 medical experts and staff from the health and foreign affairs departments of Jiangxi Province.

The experts specializing in various areas including traditional Chinese medicine, intensive care, hospital infection control and emergency treatment are from several hospitals in Jiangxi and the provincial center for disease prevention and control.

The Chinese experts will share China's experience in fighting COVID-19 and offer training on disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment with their counterparts in Uzbekistan.

They will also provide necessary medical supplies, training and consultation service for overseas Chinese there.

The team took with them medical supplies donated by Jiangxi, including surgical masks, N95 respirators, medical protective suits, nucleic acid testing kits, goggles, and non-invasive ventilators.
