Chinese Premier Li Keqiang urged officials to ensure the full supply and stable price of medical materials during his inspection of the National Mobilization Center for Key Medical Supplies on Saturday.

Disease Control and Prevention currently is the most pressing task for the nation, Li pointed out, encouraging businesses producing the relevant medical goods to speed up their production and enlarge capacity so as to ensure stable supplies.

Learning about the current supplies of key materials such as protective medical gowns, goggles and masks, Li urged officials from the relevant departments to optimize the mobilization process with a focus on heavy-affected areas.

Li highly appreciated the devotion of medical workers fighting on the front line of the outbreak. He hoped all medical staff were able to protect themselves and instructed that key medical prevention materials must first be offered to medical workers.

Speaking of daily supplies for ordinary people, Li urged relevant officials to establish "green channels" to ensure the full supply and stable price of commodities, calling for severe punishment in any cases of illegal price rises and counterfeit or defective products.

Facing the outbreak of the disease, Li encouraged all staff at the center to work jointly and win the battle with all-out effort, consolidation and resolute determination.
