THE AUSTRALIAN government has donated 100 oxygen concentrators to the Philippines as part of a continuing assistance program on the coronavirus response and recovery.
“I am very pleased that the Australian Government is able to respond to the request of the Philippine Government… These critical medical supplies will help the Department of Health respond to the current increase in COVID-19 cases,” said Australian Ambassador Steven J. Robinson AO in a statement.
The donation, which was announced Monday by Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne during the Philippines-Australia Ministerial Meeting, arrived on Saturday. — Alyssa Nicole O. Tan
