The donation is the result of the “80,000 masks for Saigon” fundraising programme initiated by the “Join hands for Viet Nam” group including young people studying and living in the United States.
The masks are expected to be handed over to 63 hospitals and medical clinics in Ho Chi Minh City – Viet Nam’s largest COVID-19 hotspot – to better serve its pandemic prevention and control.
Doan Thi Minh Trang, a member of the group, said that the fundraising programme has received great support from the overseas Vietnamese community in the US and many other countries with a total funding of over 100,000 USD.
Earlier, the group sent 16,560 medical masks N95 to Ho Chi Minh City. It promises to continue buying more medical masks and transport to Viet Nam as soon as possible.
