China Builds Two Wuhan Hospitals in 10 Days to Aid in the Global Battle Against Coronavirus
PITTSBURGH — To fight the fast-spreading coronavirus, China completed construction of two new field hospitals in Wuhan in just 10 days. Power management company Eaton and its partner electrical contractors and distributors were part of the construction project at the new Huoshenshan and Leishenshan Hospitals that delivered an additional 2,500 hospital beds to the front line of this global health emergency. Eaton solutions are powering the hospitals, enabling medical teams to diagnose, treat, and monitor more patients.
“Working in the field complicates access to a steady and reliable power supply, which can be a matter of life and death when critical medical equipment is involved,” said Howard Liu, president of Eaton’s Electrical Sector – Asia-Pacific region. “Eaton is committed to providing high-performance solutions to everyday heroes on the frontlines – on typical days and in moments of crisis.”
