The United Nation’s International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) presented to the Health Department eight ventilators and 20 oxygen concentrators that were obtained by Unicef through funding support from the governments of New Zealand and Japan. COVID-19 National Control Centre Incident Manager Dr. Daoni Esserom said that the equipment was very expensive for the Government to purchase and the donated equipment would boost the capacity of the Health Department in its fight against the coronavirus.
