During the increasingly severe period of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the medical nurses and police in the hot areas of both Taipei City and New Taipei City were facing huge challenges. For this purpose, UVB assisted to fundraise NT$ 3 million to bring out the best of all society to take physical actions to support the medical and police personnel; In addition, we also teamed up with Carl Zeiss to make a joint donation of 4,500 sets of anti-pandemic goggles to the Social Welfare Department of the Taipei City Government, the Social Welfare Department of the New Taipei City Government, and the ROC Friends of Police Association. It is our hope that, with practical actions, we can jointly become the most powerful backing for the front-line personnel to fight against the “pandemic” together with one life on the same island！

As an ophthalmology leader in Taiwan, UVB continues to give back to the community and is dedicated to the improvement of eye and vision health for the general public.
