As India is currently suffering due to a massive influx of COVID-19 cases and deaths, Malta has donated 20 oxygen concentrators to a hospital in India. The concentrators will be sent to Holy Family Hospital in New Delhi, India as they form part of Malta’s overseas development assistance programme. With India running out of oxygen supplies as well, this donation in association between the Foreign Affairs Ministry and Health Ministry, will help to save lives as the country has had 20 million reported COVID-19 cases so far.

Head of Madhukar Rainbow Children’s Hospital Dr Dinesh stated that ‘oxygen is a basic requirement of a hospital and a consistent supply has not been assured. We are constantly firefighting.’
