The Republic of China (Taiwan) recently handed over an ambulance, along with approximately 300 wheelchairs, walkers, and other medical equipment and supplies, to the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment.

According to the Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan), Her Excellency Fiona Fan, the donation demonstrates Taiwan’s continued commitment to strengthening St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ (SVG) health sector. The presentation took place during the closing ceremony of the Public Health Emergency Response System Enhancement Project on Friday.

Ambassador Fan said she hoped the project would integrate seamlessly into SVG’s health system.

The project also featured training and empowerment sessions for over 200 police officers in natural disaster response. In addition, two laboratory technicians received specialised training, and 16 emergency medical technician trainers underwent training in Taiwan — all geared towards fostering a culture of risk reduction in the health system.

Ambassador Fan further acknowledged the Government and people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for their unwavering support of Taiwan in its quest for democracy. She noted that the medical partnership paves the way for a more prosperous future for both countries.
