The first batch of 1,700 invasive ventilators, including 1,500 VFS-410 and 200 VFS-510 ventilators are gradually handed over to the Ministry of Health as of August 7.

The biggest conglomerate in Vietnam also proposed to donate chemicals to perform 50,000 diagnostic tests to detect COVID-19 cases by the PRC technique to Da Nang, the now hardest-hit province in the country, and another 6,000 to Bac Ninh and Hai Phong, northern Vietnam.

On top of that, Vinmec Hospital in Da Nang, which belongs to Vingroup, also commits to receive samples from CDC Da Nang to perform testing with a maximum capacity of 500 tests per day. The implementation time is from August 8-22.

Addressing a donation reception ceremony on Friday, Acting Minister of Health Nguyen Thanh Long sincerely thanked Vingroup for its support to help the country tackle the Covid-19 outbreak.

He singled out the group as a pioneer in Viet Nam that has successfully researched and developed ventilator models to replace imported ones when supply chains have been disrupted globally due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
