Renowned doctor lauds CPC's leadership during epidemic

Party organized medical personnel, reassured public, provided guidance

The Communist Party of China displayed leadership in not only guiding the country through the deployment of medical personnel and resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also mobilizing the public, said renowned Shanghai doctor Zhang Wenhong.

The leader of the Shanghai team of experts that treated novel coronavirus cases, Zhang said the outbreak witnessed many CPC members acting as role models in the medical field. Their actions included aiding hard-hit Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, supporting designated hospitals treating COVID-19 cases, conducting scientific research and disseminating correct information about the pandemic to reassure the public.

Grassroots CPC members working in neighborhood management, public security, disease prevention and control, and public transportation also contributed to the fight against the spread of the virus in Wuhan, Zhang said.
