Last Month, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), donated 100 state-of-the-art ventilators to Indonesia to assist its fight against covid-19.
The donated ventilators reflect cutting-edge and in-demand technology. They are compact and deployable and can support both invasive and non-invasive applications. Along with the ventilators, USAID will fund training for health workers using the equipment along with standard operating procedures and maintenance.
