The donation is the result of the campaign “80,000 masks for Saigon” initiated by the “Join hands for Vietnam” group including young Vietnamese people studying and living in the US.
The face masks will be handed over to 63 hospitals and medical clinics in HCMC to better serve its pandemic prevention and control.
According to Doan Thi Minh Trang, a member of the group, the campaign has received great support from the overseas Vietnamese community in the US and many other countries with a total funding of over 100,000 USD.
Previously, the group sent 16,560 N95 medical masks to HCMC. It promises to continue buying more medical masks and transport to Vietnam as soon as possible./.
