SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre (SRM MCH&RC) in Kattankulathur has received ten oxygen concentrators from National TsingHua University (NTHU), Taiwan as a sign of goodwill to help us battle COVID.
These 10 Oxygen Concentrators were sent as part of the “Love from NTHU, Taiwan” campaign. The money was sourced from voluntary donations from the NTHU Alumni Association and the Centre for India Studies at NTHU. SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) is one of the strategic partners of NTHU, through which a dedicated Taiwan Education Centre has been established on campus, working to build the education and cultural partnership between the university and Taiwan higher education institutions.
On behalf of NTHU, SRMIST’s Director (International Relations) Kartar Singh presented these concentrators to SRM MCH&RC’s Pro-Vice Chancellor (Medical & Health Sciences) Prof. Lt. Col. Dr. A. Ravikumar and Dean (Medical) Dr. A. Sundaram.
In the words of Professor Weichung Wang, Director of the Program Office for Taiwan Education Centre in India at NTHU, who has devoted over a decade in promoting Indo-Taiwan cooperation, the donation was an outpouring of the concern they feel for the people of India, “SRMIST is one of the most important partners of NTHU in India. Given the years-long partnership and friendship, it was but natural for us to provide this support. It is a very small step in strengthening the hands of SRM Hospital in its fight against the deadly COVID virus”.
