The European Union and World Health Organisation have sent medical equipment and tools to Mongolia to aid the country’s fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

The assistance includes mobile health technology equipment and rapid tests, the country’s health ministry said on Tuesday.

The supply is part of a three-year project co-funded by the EU and WHO in October 2020 to provide support and technical guidance to Mongolia’s health sector.

As of Today, Mongolia has registered over 40 thousand Covid-19 cases, with 126 deaths. Most of the total confirmed cases were locally transmitted.
