Huawei Technologies Zambia has donated Intelligent Temperature Measurement Equipment for Access Control worth K500,000 to the Ministry of Health.

Speaking during a briefing held in Lusaka, Huawei Technologies Managing Director, Anthony Yu said national health is everyone’s concern and the company felt compelled to donate the equipment in order to supplement Government efforts in the fight against the spread of Corona Virus.

Mr. Yu said Huawei has remained on high alert but at the same time concerned at the safety of everyone and hence feeling the need to make the donation.

He revealed that the equipment donated was meant to be mounted on the entrance and automatically detect one temperatures .

A detection in person’s high temperature triggers the alarm to go on in order to give alerts to inspectors for further attention and action.

He said Huawei was pleased to reach out to the government through the technological solution because it was in line with Huawei’s aspirations to bring digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected and intelligent world.

Meanwhile, Minister of Health, Dr.Chitalu Chilufya commended Huawei for being a strategic partner in strengthening Zambia’s health system.

“Huawei is standing with the government this particular period and this shows the true friendship. Huawei is a trustworthy corporate citizen that my ministry can partner with.

We know Huawei as the world leading ICT solution company and I am sure this intelligent equipment can help us intensify the surveillance and do further on controlling measures in the fighting against the pandemic. We very appreciate their contribution” the Minister said.

And Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Hon. Dora Siliya said Government wants to put on the record the involvement of the private sector in the fight against corona virus.

“We have very good corporate partner from the private sectors who have quickly come to support the government like we have seen today. We are also very pleased to receive support from a strong private sector community in form of donations that we have received today” she said

  1. Surviving on denotations from outsiders all the time. Please tell us what you (Zambian Government) have bought as a country to combat COVID-19.

  2. What we need now are test kits accessible at household level. Lack of knowledge is what destroys people. Imagine moving around not knowing you have it. Do you think a right thinking person can be that careless as to infect his or her own family with full knowledge of their status? This thing of just guessing if you have it or not is what will kill us.

  3. Please Mr President Edgar Changwa Lungu, please declare a state of emergency and call for a TOTAL LOCKDOWN FOR TWO WEEKS while COVID-19 cases are still low in order to save lives.
    Tomorrow will be too late for some Zambian lives, do it now please.

  5. Our kids can write an app to do that na imwe. In the meantime get one of those gadgets and thoroughly check it so there is no spy tech in it. Awe mwe. Imwe vonse ni ma donation this donation that bati!? When are we going to stand on our own two or three legs kansi? Si tilesa ma donation but vinangu ivi must be followed with sound direction – at the moment I do not see much direction in controlling this virus pa Zed.

  6. Hope the equipment is genuine. Just watching BBC where China supplied 900,000 test kits to Spain and they are all faulty. Can you trust the Chinese, even the numbers of people who died from Covid19 in China could not be true. They hid this disease from the world for two months. Honestly how can one country put the whole world through this. Very heartless people. Let the whole world quarantine China.

  7. Pwii Chris the young intelligent man is doing great. He continues to carry forward the torch I gave him. I am slowly leaving him to his own devices as the handover comes to an end soon. Meanwhile if he requires my support, he knows where I am. I am currently in the position of director of higher intelligence under the office of the president. Good weekend brother

  8. Huawei thinks it can buy its way into people s hearts. It has the worst customer service in the world. Try repairing any of their gadgets when it breaks down and you will see how incompetent it’s staff are. Samsung is much better
