The remaining 1,600 VFS-410 ventilators will be handed over in the second stage of the plan before August 30, following previous agreements reached between Vingroup and the two countries in May.

Vsmart VFS-410 and VFS-510 - two "made in Vietnam" intrusion ventilators have been completed and manufactured entirely from the Vingroup ecosystem. This is the Vingroup's gratitude expressed to the two countries taken the Group's development source from as well as close attachments to Vietnam and many Vietnamese generations.

Vsmart VFS-510 is the first “Made-in-Vietnam” ventilator model to be officially recognised by the Ministry of Health. They help meet medical facilities’ increasing demand for ventilators to treat critically ill patients.

VFS-410 and VFS-510's international standard performance is able to timely meet both immediate needs of COVID-19 treatment and continue to be used in emergency resuscitation departments (ICU) providing long-term value and effectiveness.

The embassies have drawn up plans to ship the ventilators back to their countries so that they can be immediately put into use to meet the demand for COVID-19 treatment facilities.

The successful production of "Made-in-Vietnam" ventilators in record time and proactively given to countries facing the COVID-19 pandemic's complex difficulties are evidence of the close and growing ties between Vietnam and international friends.
