In a goodwill gesture, India is sending medical supplies to China, especially Wuhan to tackle the Coronavirus situation.
India has had it's own economic issues lately, and there are some big issues between the two countries diplomatically.
Yet this move shows the strength of India and its foreign policy - of humanity over everything else.
Even with those with whom we have differences in various issues.
Well, this thing lacks in the relationship between many nations.

I like the title, it is a commendable act. China says that they need doctors and nurses too. I hope India would also provide that help.

Yes, some doctors and nurses might go for short term, but I am not very sure.

And those coming from outside might expect more money later on, except for a few.

I think self volunteers would be very less, others would demand some stipend or remuneration.
But this is my personal guess.

But it's a policy India has been following in many arenas.
India has been sending many soldiers to UN peacekeeping operations as well for many years as well.
And constructed bridges, roads etc in the war torn Afghanistan.

Some do have. Yet some do not extend such help, even if they have the resources.
