Trip.com Group donates 400 oxygen concentrators to India to provide support amid the Covid-19 crisis
Over the past few months, new Covid-19 cases have surged in India. As a result, the Indian medical system has been heavily burdened with huge numbers of patients and inadequate supplies of critical medical equipment, including oxygen concentrators.
Trip.com Group chairman James Liang said: “The pandemic has given people a deeper understanding of the importance of community and collaboration as we look towards a positive shared future. Covid-19 is a challenge that we all need to overcome. It is increasingly necessary to strengthen cooperation, support each other, and work together in the fight against the virus.”
Jane Sun, CEO of Trip.com Group, added: “We are doing everything we can to provide immediate and direct support for people at risk of Covid-19 in India. We urge all businesses in the travel industry to collaborate and help where possible, to protect communities and individuals and make greater contributions to the recovery of the global travel sector.”
