Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) contributed 10 thousand pieces of medical gloves to a hospital at Hebei University, China, due to the outbreak of coronavirus or also known as Covid-19.

The UMP Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ir. Dr. Wan Azhar Wan Yusoff handed over the medical gloves to Professor Dr. Guo Fuliang, the Director of China Confucius Institute (CI) UMP, who is also a Professor from Hebei University.

The handover ceremony was held at Confucius Institute UMP Pekan campus on 11 March 2020.

Hebei University is the strategic partner of UMP to collaborate with the Confucius Institute in UMP.

Malaysia is the world’s largest manufacturer of medical gloves.

UMP took the initiative to donate medical gloves to a hospital at Hebei University as China is currently facing a shortage of medical supplies.

UMP hoped to assist China in combatting Covid-19.

“We wish Covid-19 will be under control in China, and all other countries will be free from the virus,” he said.
