President's Message regarding COVID-19

Dear Colleagues,

We witnessed rapid progress of the global COVID-19 virus outbreak over the last a few weeks, just after everyone‘s donations and support for the fight of novel coronavius in China. We are encountering an extreme situation that we have not before. There is daily updated information from the Government of Canada and BC CDC for both the public and health professionals. I am concerned about our member’s own health risk while we continue to provide the care of our patients, because we are the last resource for the public for this fight. We must protect ourselves. But I am glad that from all the measures announced from the government, health care provider’s risk protection is on the top priority including the COVID-19 testing eligibility.  Full message here.

Physician Call out: We are assisting Vanvouver Division of Family Practive to connect with physicians who want to help respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Are you able to help? Please fill out this form.

Chinese-Canadian Doctors Organize Fundraising to Support the Fight against Novel Coronavirus Outbreak in China

In association with the WACD (World Association of Chinese Doctors) and other organizations, the CCMSBC (Chinese Canadian Medical Society BC), organized a fundraising event to support the fight against the novel coronavirus outbreak in China. The conference and fundraising event was held on February 8, 2020 at Lipont Place in Richmond, BC.

Representatives of the CCMSBC, WACD, other organizations, as well as BC community leaders participated in the event. The CCMSBC members included Drs. Charles Jiang (President), Xingyong Wang, Thomas Wang, Yanyan Chen. Some CCMSBC members also represented the WACD: Drs. Kwang Yang (WACD, Canadian Division Chair), Dr. Susan Kwan, Dr. Youwen Zhou, and Dr. Jianming Song.  The event raised about 200,000 CAD (over 1 Million RMB) to support the battle against the novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China.

CCMSBC will continue to support the fight against the novel coronavirus outbreak, and will fully support WACD‘s efforts in this regard – especially their organization of two subcommittees dedicated to fighting this outbreak: the Specialty Advisory Committee and the Donation Coordination Committee. The CCMSBC board will continue to update our members with new information.
