Tran Ngoc Phuc, creator of multi-purpose Eliciae MV20 ventilator which had been presented to Vietnam in April last year, has invented an antiviral face mask.

The Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control of the southern province of Binh Duong on August 3 put two COVID-19 treatment areas with a total of 8,300 beds into operation amid complicated developments of the pandemic in the locality.

Two working groups were established by the Ministry of Health on August 2 to facilitate COVID-19 treatment nationwide.

A 31-year-old female nurse who suffered anaphylactic shock after receiving a dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on May 10 was taken off a ventilator in the Intensive Care Unit of the Da Nang General Hospital on Tuesday after recovering sufficiently.

The "Made in Vietnam" ventilators have been certified by Ministry of Health (MOH) so they can be sold on the domestic market.

A ventilator model produced by Vinsmart, a member of Vingroup, has obtained approval for sale from the Ministry of Health.

Vingroup has announced it has completed the design and is preparing to introduce to the market two invasive ventilator models which adhere strictly to international standards while achieving a significantly high localisation rate in design and manufacture.

Indonesian Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita has said the ministry had coordinated with four major local producers to develop ventilators to meet skyrocketing demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Vu Hong Nam took receipt of two Eliciae MV20 ventilators manufactured by Japan’s Metran Co., Ltd at a ceremony in Tokyo on April 20.

Japanese medical equipment firm Metran plans to make 15,000 ventilators for Vietnam to help the country combat the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which is ravaging the globe, according to Founder and Chairman Tran Ngoc Phuc.
