The Viet Nam Investment and Development Bank (BIDV) donated medical equipment and facilities worth VND10 billion (US$435,000) to Saint Paul Hospital at a ceremony on Wednesday in Ha Noi.

The donation is part of a series of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes that BIDV is engaged in to support the capital city’s healthcare sector in 2017.

The medical equipment include a sterilisation instrument, four patient supervision monitors, two respiration machines, two high-frequency surgical knifes, electrical cardioversion, micro-surgical tools, a blood test machine and a 16-seat car for transporting doctors to local medical facilities for medical technique transference sessions.

Hospital director Nguyen Dinh Hung thanked the BIDV for supporting the health sector and Saint Paul Hospital, and said the donation will help improve the quality of treatment.

“We commit to effectively use and manage the donated medical facilities in serving and treating people in Ha Noi city,” Hung said. — VNS
