"Renmin Hospital, come on! Zhongnan Hospital, come on! Wuhan, come on!" On January 30, Han Jin, Party Secretary of the University, Dou Xiankang, President of the University, and Tang Qizhu, Vice President of the University, visited Renmin Hospital and Zhongnan Hospital to greet the frontline medical staff who were fighting the outbreak.

The University leaders highly affirmed the achievements of the two hospitals in the prevention and control of the new pneumonia epidemic, praised the moving deeds of the medical staff who have emerged in recent days, and entrusted the hospital leaders conveyed greetings and thanks to the medical staff working at the forefront.

In the No. 3 Building of the East District of Renmin Hospital, the University leaders and the delegation visited the hospital staff representatives. Wan Honghui, Secretary of the Party Committee of Renmin Hospital, and Wang Gaohua, Dean of Renmin Hospital, reported that the East District was urgently requisitioned by the government as a centralized treatment site for fever patients, and the reconstruction of isolation wards was carried out quickly. The Eastern District has converted some general wards into isolation wards in accordance with the "three zones and two channels" standard for the treatment of "new pneumonia" patients.

The University leaders are very concerned about the reserve of medical protective materials in Renmin Hospital. They said that many Wuhan University students, especially alumni, are actively taking action to raise medical protective materials for the two affiliated hospitals. Wuhan University's New Pneumonia Fund has raised more than 40 million donations. The hospital can inform the University of the needs in a timely manner. We all work together to provide protection for front-line medical staff. While carefully treating patients and effectively reducing criticality and mortality, we must strive to achieve zero infection for frontline medical staff. Han Jin emphasized that in the battle against the epidemic, party members and cadres must rush to the front line. Dou Xiankang emphasized that in the future, we should give appropriate tilt to the frontline medical staff in reviewing job titles.

Outside the isolated ward of Building 7 of Zhongnan Hospital, University leaders connected with the medical staff in the isolated ward via videophone to inquire about the work intensity and physical status of the medical staff, and told them to take care of themselves while working hard. Zhang Yuanzhen, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhongnan Hospital, and Wang Xinghuan, Dean of Zhongnan Hospital, introduced the situation of the admission and treatment of patients with "new pneumonia”, and reported the good news that an infected nurse had recovered and returned to work after treatment.

Subsequently, the University leader and the delegation came to the Department of Neurosurgery of Zhongnan Hospital. When learning that there are currently 3 doctors and 6 nurses in the department to support the isolation ward, the University leaders said, "You shared the work of going to the isolation ward to support your colleagues. This is also a contribution to fighting the epidemic. The heroes in the medical field are all heroes, thank you! "They urged the medical staff of the non-communicable diseases department to also raise the level of protection and prepare for a protracted battle.
