On April 9, HU¡¯s Hospital received 30,000 facemasks, donated by Sienocean Biological Technology Co., Ltd, a pharmaceutical and food manufacturing company based in Hangzhou, China.
Sienocean has been working together with HU¡¯s Probiotic Science for Preventive Medicine Laboratory led by Professor Masanori Sugiyama, manufacturing and selling functional food products using plant-derived lactic acid bacteria.
The company offered to donate facemasks to the university by contacting Professor Sugiyama after learning that the university had a very tight stock amid the novel coronavirus outbreak in Japan.
The 30,000 facemasks arrived at HU¡¯s Hospital in 15 cardboard boxes marked with the label "ɽˮ֮ëO ïLÓêÏàœg" (Sh¨¡nshu¨« zh¨© l¨ªn f¨¥ngy¨³ xi¨¡ng j¨¬), sending a message of hope and solidarity to Japan during these difficult times.
