Medical supplies to India included 135 oxygen concentrators, 5 ventilators and 3,300 KN95 masks.

Through the coordination between the Chinese Consulate-General in Mumbai, the India-China Friendship Association and Mumbai Red Cross Society, the batch of emergency aid supplies was donated to the local frontline medical institutions.


Tang Guocai, Chinese Consul General in Mumbai, delivered a speech at the ceremony, pointing out that the cultural and economic exchanges between China and India would serve as an important foundation for the two countries' joint anti-pandemic efforts and development. At the beginning of the second wave of COVID-19 in India in May this year, 100,000 masks, 150 ventilators and other medical supplies donated by Fosun were immediately sent to Mumbai. Since then, various enterprises and institutions of China have been donating supplies to India, fully reflecting the friendship between the peoples of India and China and their determination to help each other overcome the pandemic.


Wang Yifei, Fosun Global Partner, Co-CEO of Fosun Hive, and Chief Representative of Fosun India said, "Fosun has been very concerned about the health and safety of its employees, partners, and local residents since the pandemic took a turn for the worse in April this year. Gland Pharma, a member enterprise of Fosun; Fosun RZ; IGI; and other companies have carried out multiple rounds of donations targeted at various cities in India. Ahuja Hive, Fosun Hive's business platform in India, has been devoting itself to reviving Mumbai's old communities and assisting the city in urban renewal for decades. During the pandemic, it gave 'care packs' to local grassroots families. Fosun firmly believes in 'building a community with a shared future for mankind' and will continue to make unremitting efforts to assist India."
