Turkey sends domestic ventilators to Somalia to help combat coronavirus outbreak
A Turkish cargo plane bound for Somalia can be seen alongside medical aid supplies, including domestic ventilators, on May 2, 2020.
The ventilators, made through recent technological advances, will be a “breath of life for our Somali brothers”, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Twitter. After Turkey’s all-out effort to develop its own ventilators, which bore fruit last month, Somalia, which lacked the devices that are critical for fighting coronavirus, is the first foreign country to which it sent the ventilators.
The aid includes a large amount of preventive healthcare equipment, such as 5,000 intensive care ventilators co-manufactured by Turkish firms Biyosys, Baykar, Aselsan and Arcellik, along with diagnostic kits, overalls and masks.
