The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ho Chi Minh City on September 24 held a ceremony to receive medical supplies and equipment worth 352,000 USD donated by the American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AmCham Vietnam) and its member firms to support hospitals in the city in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The supplies and equipment include four ventilators, 55 electric syringe pumps and 10 portable ventilators.
Speaking at the event, chairwoman of the committee To Thi Bich Chau thanked Amcham Vietnam for its donation and shared her sympathy with the enterprises as they have overcome difficulties in production and business due to the pandemic.
She said their donation will be sent to front-liners promptly, helping to improve the efficiency of treatment for COVID-19 patients and drive back the pandemic soon.
Chau expected that the enterprises would continue supporting and accompanying Vietnam’s and HCM City’s policies, and “living safely with the pandemic” to help the city to push back COVID-19, re-open and recover the economy, towards returning to new normal
