இந்திய மக்களுக்காக உயிர்காக்கும் மருத்துவ உபகரணங்களை அனுப்பிவைத்த டக் போர்ட் தலைமையிலான ஒன்றாரியோ அரசு
TORONTO — Today, Premier Doug Ford issued the following statement:
“The COVID-19 pandemic has strained health care systems around the world. While our province is facing a challenging third wave of COVID-19 driven by new, more-contagious variants, we continue to be committed to helping our friends and partners.
In response to a call for help from the High Commissioner to Canada and Consul General in Toronto, Ontario will donate 3,000 ventilators to the Indian Red Cross. The Ontario government will also help coordinate the transportation of approved medical equipment that is being put together for the Indian Red Cross by the Indian diaspora and friends of India in Ontario.
While we remain very concerned about the challenges facing our hospitals here at home as more patients require intensive care, we have taken decisive action to add more hospital beds than ever before. Doing so will allow us to safely support our friends and allies in desperate need of help while never sacrificing our ability to care for Ontarians.
The made-in-Ontario e700 Transport ventilators are manufactured by O-Two Medical Technologies, a company based in Brampton, with support from the Ontario Together Fund. This partnership is another example of Team Ontario working together during this pandemic to support those in need, both here at home and abroad.
We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of India during these difficult times. Our government will keep working closely with His Excellency, Ajay Bisaria, High Commissioner of India and Apoorva Srivastava, Consul General of India to Toronto and stand ready to assist further with India’s urgent needs, for as long as we are able to. We are all in this together and we will all overcome this together.”
