Help from Abroad: China-based Donors and International Partners Help U.S. Hospitals Fight COVID-19 - Livestream

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused myriad changes, but one of special significance has been the little-publicized flow of aid to the United States from China-based Americans, Chinese organizations and citizens, and even the Chinese government itself. This has taken the form of donations of personal protective equipment (PPE), cash and valuable services. Diverse organizations such as MedShare International, Flexport.org and the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai have entered into agreements and partnerships to benefit U.S.-based hospitals, such as San Francisco’s own Chinese Hospital.

Join us for a discussion with representatives of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai (AmCham Shanghai), Chinese Hospital, Flexport.org, MedShare International and San Francisco State University; the program will be moderated by KPIX's Betty Yu.

Panelists: David Basmajian, Takeda Pharmaceuticals; Jason Chernock, MedShare; Eric Talbert, San Francisco State University; Dave Hartman, Flexport.org; Dr. Jian Zhang, Chinese Hospital; Betty Yu, KPIX, Moderator
