KARACHI, Pakistan: The first batch of the much-needed medical supplies donated by the Jack Ma Foundation and the Alibaba Foundation arrived in Karachi on Wednesday to help Pakistan fight against the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.

The shipment is part of the donation of medical supplies to 10 Asian Countries announced on March 21. Collectively, the nations will receive a total of 1.8 million masks; kits for testing 210,000 people, 36,000 pieces of protective clothing, as well as essential medical equipment such as ventilators and forehead thermometers.

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) will transport and distribute the supplies throughout the Country. The Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah took the receipt of the donations from the Managing Director for Daraz in Pakistan Ehsan Saya who was representing the two foundations.

The Consul General of China to Karachi Li Bijian and the Vice Consul of China to Karachi Zhang Hao were also present on the occasion.

The remainder of the donation is expected to reach Pakistan soon.

The Consul General of China to Karachi Li Bijian said “Since the outbreak of the pandemic in Pakistan, Government and people of China have been showing our solidarity with and providing assistance to our iron brother Pakistan.” On behalf of His Excellency Mr. Yao Jing, Ambassador of China to Pakistan, Mr. Li expressed his sincere thanks to Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation for their generous donation. He added, “the efforts by the Federal and Provincial Governments of Pakistan to deal with the pandemic have been very strong and impressive.” He was firmly convinced that armed with today’s donation, Pakistan will eventually win the battle against the pandemic.

We hope the donation will strengthen Pakistan’s fight against COVID-19 and prevent further community spread of the virus. We are committed to doing everything we can to make a difference, especially overcoming the tough logistical challenges for delivery and getting the medical supplies to where it is needed most as fast as we can,” said the Jack Ma Foundation.
