Chinese hospital donates 7,000 masks to Spanish, Dutch medical institutions

A hospital in Suining, southwest China's Sichuan Province donated 7,000 surgical masks to two medical institutions in Spain and the Netherlands Thursday, according to the hospital.

After hearing of these institutions' shortage of medical protective materials, Suining Central Hospital donated the masks to Mutua De Terrassa University Hospital in Spain and Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands. The hospital also shared its novel coronavirus treatment experience with these institutions via video chat and mail.

In 2016, the hospital established a cooperative relationship with Mutua De Terrassa University Hospital in the fields of medical treatment, teaching and scientific research. The two sides have sent experts and scholars to each other for academic exchanges and cooperation.

The hospital also started cooperation with Maastricht University Medical Center in 2019.
