Sachsen state has decided to donate protective gears and quick test kits worth 60,000
EUR to Vietnam to support its fight against the pandemic.
This is the second time the St. Georg Hospital has presented medical
equipment to Vietnam.
In a recent working trip to Leipzig city, Vietnamese Ambassador to
Nguyen Minh Vu updated the pandemic’s developments in Vietnam, especially Ho
Chi Minh City where thousands of new infections have been detected a day.
The diplomat called on the city’s authorities and local agencies and
organisations to support Vietnam’s efforts in the fight against the pandemic.
Dr. Iris Minde, Director of the St. Georg Hospital which received assistance
from Vietnam last year, noted that only by working together, can the pandemic
be pushed back.
The hospital immediately collected the medical supplies, including face
masks, protective gears and quick test kits from local medical establishments,
hospitals and organisations.
The collection was carried out rapidly thanks to the from the
Economic Promotion Agency and the International Cooperation Department of
Leipzig. The medical supplies will be transported to in late August.
Leipzig is twinned with HCM City and the two sides have developed
cooperative relations in different spheres.
In a related move, the World University Service (WUS) announced on August 4
that the second batch of relief aid including more than 203,000 quick test kits
worth 598,000 EUR will be transported to Vietnam by Vietnam Airlines on August
