TaiwanIHA Provides Assistance in Sichuan Province
A 7.9-magnitude quake and hundreds of aftershocks rocked Wenchuan County in Sichuan Province on May 12, 2008, causing severe casualties. The goal of TaiwanIHA has always been to integrate the international medical assistance efforts and resources of both the public and private sectors. In this case, TaiwanIHA asked municipal hospitals for donations, which amounted to 700 kilograms of medical and sanitation materials, including IV sets, Povidone-iodine, bandages, gauze and cotton swabs. These items, along with the relief materials gathered by the Red Cross Society of the Republic of China, were sent to the disaster areas on May 16, thereby demonstrating our compassion and determination to contribute to the international community.
