On the 8th, the government will airlift an oxygen concentrator to India, where the medical system is in crisis due to the spread of the new coronavirus.

In India, the number of new infections with the new coronavirus exceeds 300,000 every day, and the medical system is tight due to the lack of beds and medical oxygen, and the number of deaths continues to increase.



In response to this situation, the government plans to provide India with 300 ventilators and 300 oxygen concentrators, as well as a maximum of 50 million dollars and 5.5 billion yen in Japanese yen.



As the first step, 100 oxygen concentrators procured from Japanese manufacturers will be airlifted from Haneda Airport to India on the 8th.



The government plans to rush to procure medical equipment and provide it to India in order from the one that is ready.
