Huawei Pakistan has donated a video conference system worth about 300,000 U.S. dollars to the Ministry of National Health Services (MNHS), Regulations and Coordination of Pakistan to help the country fight against COVID-19.
The system has already connected the Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization Country Office, and the National Institute of Health. Six additional locations including all the emergency control centers for COVID-19 across Pakistan will also be connected.
The technological structure of the system is a multi-scenario intelligent collaboration solution based on 4K video technologies. This system can be applied in several situations, such as epidemic prevention and control command, remote consultation, remote monitoring, medical teaching, and remote family visitation.
Addressing the donation ceremony, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Zafar Mirza thanked Huawei for its support to Pakistan’s efforts in preventing and controlling the spread of the disease.
“This is a difficult time for the country, and we would like Huawei to be a partner with us, just as China and Pakistan are best partners,” Mirza said, adding that he hopes Huawei can cooperate with the health minstry on telemedicine in the future.
Huawei Pakistan CEO, Mark Meng, expressed Huawei’s willingness to support Pakistan in fighting against covid-19. He told Dr. Mirza that Huawei Pakistan has taken strict preventive measures to protect all of its staff. Right now, Huawei’s operations in Pakistan are continuing as usual, and the company will try its best to work with its clients in Pakistan to guarantee smooth network operation in this critical time.
