In order to bring the spread of the coronavirus under control, large quantities of medical supplies and equipment continue to be imported into Armenia.
The “Hayastan” Fund reports that 7 ventilators will soon arrive in Armenia, 2 of which were acquired with the support of local authorities in Great Britain and 1 with the support of local authorities in the Netherlands. From the local authorities in France, we expect 20 remote thermometers and 20 oxygen concentrators in the coming week, half of which will be sent to Artsakh.
On March 25, 800 high-quality 3M-type masks were delivered to the Nork Infectious Diseases Hospital, and 70 medical gowns to the Republican Center for Humanitarian Aid of the RA Ministry of Health. Another 1,000 similar masks and 100 special medical gowns will be delivered in the coming days.
Previously, approximately 800 kg of large quantities of preventive, protective and disinfectant medical supplies, including medical protective gowns, face respirator masks, special bottles for disinfectant liquids, disinfectants, protective goggles, digital thermometers and other items, were provided to the Ministry of Health with the support of the Fund’s US Western Region office, “Chevy Chase Surgery Center” and the “Armenian Relief Society”.
A special online fundraising campaign against the COVID-2019 pandemic has been organized on the Fund’s website. More than $63,000 has been raised so far. The collected amount will serve the most urgent needs of the RA Ministry of Health.
