The Taiwanese representative office in Somaliland, Kaohsiung Medical University, the International College of Surgeons Taiwan Section, LAN cable manufacturer Wonderful Hi-Tech and other non-governmental entities on Wednesday (Nov. 18) jointly donated 100,000 masks and 5,000 isolation gowns to Somaliland’s Ministry of Health Development, CNA reported.
Pandemic prevention measures are a basic necessity, Lo said. He added that as a member of the international community, Taiwan is eager to make greater contributions to the world.
This drive has received broad support from like-minded countries such as Japan, Sweden, Canada, Belgium, and the U.S., Lo said.
"Taiwan can help, Taiwan is helping" is not only a slogan but also a demonstration of the Taiwanese sense of responsibility and enthusiasm for giving back to the world, the representative said.
