New Delhi, July 27

France has announced that it will donate high-end ventilators and test kits to India. A French Air Force plane will deliver these on Tuesday.

An expert medical mission on inter-hospital transfers of extremely critical cases will also arrive by the same plane.

In fact, the main focus of the French aid is to enable safe transfer of critically ill Covid patients. The matter was discussed in a letter President of France Emmanuel Macron wrote last week to PM Narendra Modi, said the Embassy of France in a news statement. — TNS
