国内英语资讯:China Focus: Chinese experts share lessons from battling COVID-19

Further public education on prevention such as washing hands and wearing face masks should also be carried out, without which COVID-19 would overwhelm the healthcare facilities, Yan said.

His words were echoed by Wu Dong, associate professor of gastroenterology at PUMC Hospital, who asked the public to take their necessary actions seriously, change their behaviors and be responsible.

Moreover, Wu said that he knew first-hand that the environment in the ICU could be very stressful during the epidemic, and losing patients could easily damage the morale of the ICU staff.

"Rest and relaxing are very important, and you need to take very good care of yourselves," Wu told his overseas counterparts.

HUMANITY AND LOVE

"Although this is a chance for my colleagues and me to share our experience with the international community, the Chinese approach to control the epidemic may not be the only one," Du said.

For instance, they were learning from the experience of countries like Singapore and Japan, he continued, as with different numbers of cases and community support systems, countries can adopt different approaches that achieve similar success in controlling the epidemic.

"It is an opportunity for us to learn from each other, just like what is true with traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine," Du said. "The beauty of the world lies in diversity, not identity."

Wu said his motive for joining the battle against COVID-19 on the front line was not just about professionalism or responsibility, but also about love.
