Addressing the Friday reception of the Corporation’s donation, Da Nang People's Committee Chairman Le Trung Chinh highly appreciated the Corporation for its great support given to the city’s COVID-19 containment efforts.

“We will transfer this money to the city's vaccine fund and use it for the right purpose, with the goal of soon repelling the virus, thus stabilising business and production activities and moving towards economic recovery and growth”, the municipal administration chief said.

Simply put, the donation will be used to buy COVID-19 vaccines for the city's population, make the purchase of ventilators, other specialised medical equipment and medicines to treat patients infected with COVID-19, especially critically ill ones, as well as support designated quarantine establishments, and those directly involved in coronavirus prevention and control activities across the city.

Previously, the FPT Da Nang Urban Joint Stock Company had donated VND1 billion to the city’s vaccine fund.
