BANGKOK, Mar. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Huawei has donated its Telemedicine Video Conference Solution to Thailand

hospitals and Disease Control Department, to support Thailand people's fight

against COVID-19.

Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public

Health Anutin Charnvirakul visited the IT Center of DDC. Through the

Telemedicine Video Conference System, the Prime Minister expressed his regards

to the medical staffs at Bamrasnaradura Hospital, Banplee Hospital, the

Suvarnabhumi Airport, and thanked for their contribution.

"I also want to express our gratitude for Huawei to help improve the

efficiency of Thailand's fight against COVID-19 with their technological

expertise. I wish Huawei could keep contributing to Thailand's digital

transformation and improve people's lives in the future," said the Prime Minister.

The donations, totaling around 10 million baht, include seven sets of

Telepresence Systems and 200 mobile user accounts, powered by Huawei's

CloudLink Platform. In less than one week, Huawei's project team managed to

complete the installation of the systems at all five locations.

The platform will enable medical experts across Thailand to work with frontline

medical staff to conduct remote online consultations with patients, improving

the efficiency and effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment. More importantly,

doctors and nurses could monitor the patients' condition anywhere on smart

devices, therefore reduce the risk of being infected. In addition, the remote

teleconsultation and interactive training enabled by the system could also help

improve the disease control ability of different areas in the country.

"I want to pay my homage to all the countermarching people in this outbreak

interdiction war! Time is quiet, behind is everyone's selfless pay! Huawei will

make every effort to support this battle." said Abel Deng, CEO of Huawei Thailand.
