Fitch Group has said it has pledged USD 50,000 to Give2Asia to fight coronavirus pandemic.
Funds from Fitch and other donors will help towards the purchase of medical supplies, construction of hospitals, and providing frontline staff with food, lodging and subsidies.

It has launched a campaign to support frontline health workers and hospitals responding to the outbreak, including partnerships with several non-governmental organisations in China.
In a statement Fitch Group has said "it has donated USD 50,000 to Give2Asia in support of the organisation's crisis response to the outbreak of Covid-19".
Fitch Group Chief Executive Officer Paul Taylor said the company is deeply saddened by this tragedy. This donation is part of Fitch's ongoing efforts to complement other relief and recovery initiatives across the world.
