WUHAN — Experts of the Union Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology have held a video conference with their peers in 14 hospitals in the Netherlands, sharing experience of COVID-19 prevention and treatment.

Seven expert team members of the Wuhan hospital on March 16 gave detailed answers to questions raised by six doctor representatives from the Netherlands concerning the basic symptoms, clinical diagnosis, prevention and treatment of the disease.

Inge de Wit, head of the Dutch healthcare facility SJG Weert, said she appreciated China's good job in fighting the virus and the experience sharing, hoping to get further help from the Union Hospital when confronting difficulties in future treatment.

"Medicine has no borders, and we're willing to answer questions and offer help," said Wang Hongbo, deputy Party chief of the Union Hospital.

On March 16, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment announced that 278 more people tested positive for COVID-19, which brought the total of positive cases in the Netherlands to 1,413.
