Since the end of June this year, the COVID-19 situation has deteriorated rapidly in Myanmar with an increasing number of patients and hundreds of deaths per day. In such circumstances, there is an urgent need to immediately provide oxygen concentrators for the necessary treatment of the people of Myanmar.
Through this assistance in collaboration with UNOPS, the Government of Japan will directly support the people of Myanmar by providing health facilities in the Yangon region with the oxygen concentrators needed to treat patients with COVID-19.
In addition, the Japanese government will soon provide 14 ambulances to health care facilities in different parts of Myanmar that treat patients with COVID-19 disease. These ambulances will be used for the emergency transport of patients suffering from COVID-19.
