The first batch of donation supplies, the 28,000 nitrile exam gloves, have been packaged and mailed to Wuhan. Update on 2/14/2020
We learned from the communication with hospitals in Wuhan that the coronavirus is straining medical supply in China. Hence, we decided (the decision was approved by the majority of the board members and all donors as of 2/6/2020) to purchase medical supplies and ship them to the designated hospitals in Wuhan.Here are some clarifications on the change:
- CNYCS Board will purchase medical supplies on behalf of donors and ship them to New York City; there is free shipment from NYC to the hospitals in China;
- For now, the medical supplies will be sent to one of the designated hospital, Tongji Hospital Affiliated with Tongji Medical College of HUST (Huazhong University of Science & Technology); once more hospitals’ information are confirmed, we will consider donating supplies to them as well; the rest of the donation will be sent to the designated hospital(s) as monetary donation;
- Donation made after the publication of this notice will be used for purchasing medical supplies and the remaining donation will be sent to the designated hospital(s) as monetary donation;
- Extend Fundraising for Coronavirus Disaster Relief to 3/9/2020 (originally ended on 2/7/2020).
