Medical Equipment

Laos is one of the largest recipients of Vietnam’s Covid relief since the pandemic flared up in early 2020.

The aid includes 1,000 medical protective clothes and 100,000 antibacterial face masks, which have been delivered to South Sudan by the Royal Australian Air Force.

The supporting package to Cambodia is one of Vietnam’s biggest reliefs to other countries in the pandemic.

The fund is aimed to assist member states with vaccine procurement and rollout plans.

The joint fund gets ready to support countries in case of public health emergencies or when needed.

Vietnam’s market surveillance authority seized over 150,000 counterfeit 3M face masks , the largest case of intellectual property infringement in the country so far this year.

Not only financial means, Vietnam has also provided medical equipment and expertise to help Laos in the fight against the pandemic, said the Lao ambassador to Vietnam.

The complicated evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic in the US is partly attributable to the lack of medical equipment, including ventilators.

Vietnam is trying to produce invasive and non-invasive ventilators to replace imported ones.

Since late January 2020, health agencies of the two countries have shared information and data to combat Covid-19.
