FAQ

Q: What is your plan to help the area affected by coronavirus?

A: Since the founding of Wuhan United Executive Team on January 23, 2020, it has set up an urgent goal: source medical supplies urgently needed, and deliver these supplies directly to the front line hospitals in Wuhan and its nearby regions.

In order to achieve the goal, a procurement team formed by medical professionals was established to search for large quantities of urgently needed medical supplies, such as N95 masks, protective clothing, etc. However, they quickly discovered that there are very limited available supplies in stock. Given the situation, our team made a decision after a few days of exploration, we quickly established partnership with large Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in a very short period of time, as they have medical supply reserves to respond to global emergencies like this. We strived for their donation intention, helped them to connect with hospitals in affected areas, determined medical supplies needed, and helped them complete all documents needed for transportation to China. We also coordinated custom clearance and transportation, and with the help of enthusiastic alumni and volunteers in the country, ensured that the supplies arrive at designated hospitals quickly and smoothly. We also pledged our donation to the NGOs to support their effort.

We also coordinate custom clearance and transportation efforts, and with the help of enthusiastic alumni and volunteers in the country, ensure that the supplies arrive at designated hospitals quickly and smoothly.
