Jack Ma, Asia’s richest man, pledged 1.8 million face masks and 210 million coronavirus test kits to some of the continent’s poorest nations, the latest step in an ongoing effort from his foundation to push back against what’s become a global pandemic.

In his latest tweet, Ma said that Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, the Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka would all receive help that includes protective suits, ventilators and thermometers.

He noted that a fast delivery of said items were not possible given the current situation, but assured that it will be done regardless.

Global shortages of essential medical and protective equipment have affected even the most developed economies, with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo saying more “ventilators, ventilators, ventilators” were needed to help his state handle the anticipated number of infected people needing treatment.

Ma had also donated, to each of the 54 African countries 20,000 test kits, 100,000 masks and 1,000 medical use protective suits and face shields.
