JICA continues to support Vietnam in COVID-19 fight
The assistance comes from the technical cooperation project on “enhancing the capacity of the Hue Central Hospital in response to Acute Respiratory Infections COVID-19”, announced on September 1.
Under the project, which began in August and is being carried out over eight months, the medical equipment will be installed at the Hue Central Hospital’s Base 3 where severe COVID-19 patients are being treated.
The expected equipment consists of ECMO machines, ventilators, monitors, ambulances and dedicated deep freezers to preserve vaccines.
According to Prof. Dr. Pham Nhu Hiep, Director of Hue Central Hospital, the project will make a sustainable impact on improving the quality of medical examination and treatment, especially treatment for COVID-19 patients.
In addition, training courses related to the management of remote medical devices will be held.
