Mindray Chairman's Statement on Efforts to Combat COVID-19
SHENZHEN, China, April 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Mindray (SZSE: 300760) -- As COVID-19 is casting a dark shadow over people's 
health, healthcare providers around the world are fighting relentlessly against 
the virus. We salute all medical staff for their valiant efforts to save 
patients' lives and battle the outbreak. As China's leading medical devices and 
solutions provider, we have been the main force ever since the epidemic broke 
out in China, working around the clock to support healthcare professionals. Now 
that the virus is spreading around the world, we are connecting international 
medical experts and providing precise treatment for patients with advanced 
products and services, as well as valuable medical insights.

We always put customer needs in the first place. To offer the best-customized 
solutions to cope with COVID-19, we have worked closely with healthcare 
professionals around the world and identified their pain points varying in 
different regions. In face of high installation volume, unstable traffic and 
hazardous environment, our field service engineers have adhered to strict 
protocols and offered timely and safe assistance to healthcare providers. Our 
easy-to-use and multi-functional products from PMLS, IVD and MIS units are 
fully equipped to ensure better healthcare for more patients. In addition, our 
IT solution and online clinical guidance make sure that healthcare providers 
could treat patients adequately without contracting the virus. As a platform of 
knowledge exchange, we have invited Chinese experts to share their insights in 
COVID-19 patient treatment with medical professionals around the world in our 
webinar program. We will further explore possibilities where we can support 
patients and healthcare professionals who are fighting against the virus.

We are doing our best to ramp up manufacturing capacity. Our medical products, 
including patient monitors, ventilators and ultrasound devices, are crucial in 
the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients. Facing a soaring demand from 
healthcare providers around the world and a disruption of the global supply 
chain, we have been cooperating with governments and suppliers to mitigate 
shortages and safeguard the production line. Our employees at the manufacturing 
center cancelled official holidays and thanks to their hard work, we have 
multiplied manufacturing capacity. While striving to maintain business 
continuity, we have also taken strict sanitation steps to ensure the safety of 
our products during the whole manufacturing process.

We cherish our employees' health. Our success is based on their 
professionalism, efficiency and responsibility at work. To protect our 
employees across the globe, we have restricted business travels and arranged 
online conferences instead. We have asked regional offices to follow local 
health authorities' guidelines and initiate work-from-home protocol. As the 
virus spread is slowing in China, we have increased sterilization and cleaning 
measures of office facilities, offered surgical masks at the workplace, 
practiced social distancing and monitored our employee's health by temperature 
screening on a daily basis. We will further implement these hygiene measures in 
regional offices and provide a safe working environment for all our employees. 
Thanks to our strict protection guideline, we are very proud to announce that 
none of our field service employees were infected.

In a time when the mission to save lives is more important than ever, we are 
doing all we can to bring healthcare within reach. To date, we have donated 4.6 
million USD worth of devices to hospitals all over the world. We will keep 
protecting our employees' health and safety, standing with healthcare providers 
and giving better care to patients around the globe.

Kind regards,
Li Xiting
Chairman of Mindray
