Chinese medical experts

Eight medical consultant experts from China are now in Malaysia to work with the local medical team here on the coronavirus that's sweeping the globe. It is great to have them here so that both can work with one another to learn more about this virus. But in reality, our Malaysian team will be in a position to learn first-hand from the visiting Chinese.

The Dr Wu Lien-Teh Society has direct access to the Chinese experts through our secretary-general. Though based at the Kepala Batas Hospital, Dr Hor Chee Peng has already spent a week teleconferencing with them in Kuala Lumpur and today, he sent over a picture of the Chinese experts being briefed at the Institute of Medical Research.

Here, they are listening intently to a local representative talking to them about Wu Lien-Teh. Of course, the information may be nothing new to the Chinese but to see them listening intently brings a certain pride that a Penangite had contributed so much to world medicine and their medicine, and he is being remembered more now than ever before.
