Mauritian Doctor’s Pandemic Journey: From Wenzhou to the World

When COVID-19 hit Wenzhou in 2020, Dr. Sumayyah Hosany—a physician from Mauritius—didn’t hesitate to step up. Alongside her husband, she volunteered at highway toll stations in the eastern Chinese city, screening travelers’ temperatures and offering medical support.

\"In tough times, we must stand together,\" Sumayyah told NewspaperAmigo.com. Her story isn’t just about frontline bravery: After aiding Wenzhou, she rallied global networks to send critical supplies back to her homeland Mauritius, proving solidarity knows no borders.

Sumayyah’s journey reflects a universal truth: Viruses don’t care about passports. From freezing toll booths to fundraising Zoom calls, her work reminds us that global challenges demand global compassion.
