WUHAN MEDICS RETURN FAVOR TWO YEARS ON

On April 3, 51 medical workers from Wuhan University's Zhongnan Hospital in Hubei province arrived in Shanghai to begin working at the makeshift hospital set up in the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

They are part of a medical team sent by Hubei to help in the city's battle against COVID-19. Together with others from Wuhan, the team has taken over the management of the makeshift hospital, which is responsible for more than 1,300 mild and asymptomatic COVID-19 patients.

Most have experience working at makeshift hospitals in Wuhan.

Medical staff from Shanghai worked at the Wuhan Parlor makeshift hospital, the largest of its kind in the city in 2020, said Li Zhiqiang, vice-president of Zhongnan Hospital and head of the hospital's medical aid team in Shanghai. "Now, it's time for us to return the favor," he said.
