At the presenting ceremony, VFF President Tran Thanh Man and Acting Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long said that the MV20 ventilators were needed for the period when the health sector was doing its best to treat COVID-19 patients and those in critical situation and needing intensive treatment or extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).
The donation of 500 ventilators is a noble deed which is worth being praised during the outbreaks of COVID-19 in Vietnam, according to Acting Minister of Health Long.
