“These additional test kits will supplement Singapore’s earlier donation to allow more people to have an early diagnosis, while the ventilators will be crucial for the survival of severe COVID-19 cases,” the Singaporean Embassy in Manila explains.
Singapore previously made a donation of 3,000 COVID-19 test kits to improve virus detection in the country.
They also pledge to “continue to work on ways [to] contribute to the Philippines’ effort to contain and defeat COVID-19.”
