Mindray integrates prosperity, sustainability and alignment with the environmental and social standards of the international community. Social consciousness is a large part of our corporate DNA.
Rural Hospital Upgrade
Medical facilities in underdeveloped rural areas of China have lagged behind the rapid modernization brought on by the economic boom. In response, the central government is giving top priority to improving the quality of care in these areas.
As a leading medical device company in China, Mindray actively supports the nationwide effort to improve rural healthcare conditions by designing customized and affordable equipment.
In July 2007, Mindray donated medical equipment to Gansu province, located in the far flung reaches of Northwestern China, and in August, Mindray donated medical devices to twenty-eight small town hospitals in Jilin, a province of Northeastern China. In May 2009, Mindray donated medical devices to twenty-six town hospitals in Anhui province. The three donations were worth a total of 21,590,000 CNY (3,161,000 USD).
Disaster Relief Efforts
The devastating earthquake that shook Sichuan in Southwestern China on May 12, 2008 left thousands dead and more injured. Upon hearing of the tragedy, the management team at Mindray quickly offered assistance for the relief effort. Mr. Xu Hang and Mr. Li Xiting, co-chief executives, led companywide donations with 3,200,000 CNY (468,904 USD) worth of high-quality, portable multi-parameter patient monitors. Employees raised a cash donation of over 1,000,000 CNY (146,535 USD). Humanitarian support contributed by Mindray has ranged from the turmoil of the SARS outbreak in 2003 to the tsunami that struck Indian Ocean in 2004. Mindray is firmly committed to helping people in stricken communities.
Education in Underdeveloped Regions
The goal of the non-governmental Hope Project is to finance the education of students from poor families. It includes programs to establish Hope primary schools in underdeveloped rural areas, establish Hope scholarships in high schools and universities, implement distance education and train teachers for rural schools. Mindray has been part of the national effort for years and a number of schools have been built with company donations.
As an integral part of the community, Mindray has always insisted on giving back. Our passion is to make the world a better place, not only with humanitarian efforts, but also by using our expertise to improve the health and well-being of people everywhere in the world.
