MBABANE – Taiwan has recently donated medical supplies to Eswatini to help combat the ongoing pandemic.
The donation from Taiwan Embassy and Taiwan Medical Mission included items such as facial masks, isolation gowns, and COVID-19 test kits, among other essential medical supplies.
Ambassador Liang handed over some of the donation items to the Ministry of Health Principal Secretary.
He said this was their way of showing special commitment to Eswatini and ensuring everyone’s health was taken care of.
“It pleases the Embassy to help where we can, especially where COVID-19 is concerned. We hope these donations go a long way in helping the Ministry of Health curb COVID-19,” said the Ambassador.
Worth noting is that Eswatini has experienced a surge in COVID-19 cases, with over 16 000 confirmed cases and over 600 deaths as of June 2023.
The donation of medical supplies from Taiwan will help bolster the country’s healthcare system and improve its ability to respond to the pandemic.
Taiwan has been actively providing medical aid and assistance to the Kingdom.
Meanwhile a practising Doctor, without breaking patient and doctor confidentiality said, they were still receiving cases of COVID-19 some severe some not.
He warned people to continue practising safe precautions, everywhere they go or might be.
“COVID-19 is not over, we still need to wear masks, wash our hands and social distance especially now that we are experiencing a season change,” he said.
