WUHAN, March 7 (Xinhua) -- The clinical laboratory of the Leishenshan (Thunder God Mountain) Hospital in Wuhan brought together medical personnel from different hospitals and medical testing institutions, most of whom are female.

Their work is to test samples collected from COVID-19 patients and provide diagnostic information for doctors.

Although they do not contact patients directly, they still have to wear layers of protective suits for direct contact with the virus.

Just like many of their fellows combating the virus across the country, women have shown their powerful will, professionalism, selfless devotion and great resilience alongside their male peers.
