Guan led staff members of the outpatient department in his hospital, DeltaHealth, which is a foreign-funded hospital, to engage in epidemic control in the city, having conducted nucleic acid tests for residents in Shanghai’s suburban Qingpu district several times.

He has also offered free online healthcare consulting services for patients, and prescribed medicine for the patients in need of urgent medical assistance.

Speaking about why he took part in the anti-epidemic efforts in Shanghai, Guan said: “As a doctor, I’m always ready to contribute my part whenever I’m needed, regardless of my nationality.”
