Temasek Foundation-donated medical equipment arrive in Vietnam
Vietnam Airlines’ flight VN5656 carrying medical equipment donated by Singapore’s Temasek Foundation safely landed at Van Don airport in the northern province of Quang Ninh on September 17.
Carried by wide-body and modern Airbus A350 free-of-charge, the batch comprises ventilators, protective suits, gloves, safety glasses and N95 masks which are necessary for hospitals and medical establishments in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.
They were promptly sent to hospitals to strengthen resources for the effort.
Since early 2021, the national flag carrier has carried nearly 10,000 medical staff and hundreds of tonnes of medical equipment to cities and provinces nationwide to fight the pandemic.
