The Chinese Community in Ghana has donated 15 Ventilators and 20,000 medical masks to the Greater Accra Regional Hospital.

The Community has also donated 1,600 N95 masks, 120 protective suits, 60 face shields, and 100 medical goggles to the Hospital.

Speaking at the donation ceremony on Wednesday, June 17, the outgoing Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Shi Ting Wang, expressed the “…hope these supplies can help Ghana win the battle as early as possible.”

He stated that the items were donated through a partnership between the Chinese Embassy in Ghana and the Chinese Community.

He noted that “the Covid-19 global pandemic is most extensive to afflict humanity in a century. A serious crisis for the entire world, and a daunting challenge, it poses a grave threat to human life and health.”

“This is a war that humanity has to fight and win. Facing this unknown, unexpected, devastating disease, China launched a resolute battle to prevent and control its spread,” he added.


He said making people’s lives and health its first priority, China adopted extensive, stringent, and thorough containment measures, and has for now succeeded in turning the situation around.

“There are only a few home-grown confirmed cases in China right now. A decisive victory was secured but we are still vigilant and extremely cautious.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic is raging the world. Lives are lost every single day. China believes that all countries should make the choice that is right for the interests of all humanity and the wellbeing of our future generations.”

” Upholding the vision of a global community of shared future, we should support each other and join hands to contain the spread of the virus, and protect the health and wellbeing of people across the globe.”

“Above others, China put it a top priority to help developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America – especially Africa –improve their capacity and performance in epidemic prevention and control. In addition to the medical supplies sent to over 50 African countries and the AU, and 7 medical expert teams dispatched to the continent, China will offer more assistance to African countries, and continue to do all in its power to offer support.”

China and Ghana stood hand in hand since the beginning of the outbreak. At the beginning of this year when China’s epidemic situation was in its most difficult period, Ghana has given us a lot of support. And in return, when the outbreak began in Ghana since March, China spares no pains to help Ghana and other African countries in fighting against the virus, he said.
