During the epidemic, some residents need essential medication without interruption. Linglin Health worked with communities to help residents get needed drugs. At 10 o 'clock on April 2, a family member of a child patient living in the street of Changzheng Subdistrict called Linglin Health for help. The family member said that his child suffered from a chronic disease and needed a special drug for a long time. They could not go out due to the epidemic.
Knowing that the patient needed a scarce medicine, Master Li of Linglin Health searched for the drug throughout Shanghai. He finally got the drug and delivered it to the patient within 20 hours.

Linglin Health immediately contacted Mr. Li, who sent emergency help, and learned that his colleague was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis in Putuo Central Hospital. If not treated in time, the patient would suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding, sepsis, and other serious complications.
