With the popularity of COVID-19 in Africa, the organization "Two Wheels of Life" supported by the International Motorcycle Federation is trying to help African people tide over the difficulties.

The "two wheels of life" need support more than ever before to ensure that necessary materials and medical supplies reach remote communities by motorcycle.

The current COVID-19 is affecting everyone's life on earth. Now, the impact of this virus on the African continent is emerging. With the support of two life wheels, people in five African countries have become accustomed to dealing with diseases unheard of in developed countries for many years, such as HIV/AIDS, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and leprosy. However, the challenges in COVID-19 have brought new threats to communities with weak medical systems and people with low resistance.

Motorcycle teams supported by "Two Wheels of Life" are currently in contact and tracking in a remote COVID-19 epidemic area in Lesotho, southeast Africa. Motorcycle teams also collect samples from checkpoints and send them to laboratories for rapid diagnosis, assist doctors in treatment, and quickly send frontline health workers to the most challenging rural areas, and provide medical care and medical supplies to local residents.

When 5438+ 10 visited Lesotho in June this year, 12 world champion Dougie Lampkin said with deep feelings, "I never realized how good these riders are. They are test drivers, but they don't know they are. " For a successor, this sentence is the pride of the organization. "

David nabarro, professor of global health in Imperial College London, London and special envoy of London and WHO in COVID-19, said: "Motorcycles in remote communities in Africa can help fight the COVID-19 epidemic." The work of two rounds of life organization has a special position. "

The current epidemic has forced the "two wheels of life" to work harder than before, but at the same time, with the cancellation and postponement of motorcycle races, they have temporarily lost their financial support.

Andrea Coleman, founder and CEO of Two Wheels of Life and co-founder of Health Knight, said: "For many years, motorcycle organizations around the world have been supporting the work of Two Wheels of Life and our operating partner Health Knight. We proudly show that motorcycles can provide medical services for people in the most remote areas and under the most difficult conditions. At this time, we should pay attention to the disadvantaged people we serve. We know that motorcycles hold the answers to the life and death problems they face. Our projects in Africa need more help. Although this is a difficult period, we are doing our best to continue to provide support. "

"Two Wheels of Life" is the official charity of IMU and MotoGP.
