The non-reimbursable technical cooperation, equivalent to US$330,000, includes, in addition to the special protective suits, 32 thousand shoe covers for the same purpose.

CABEI Executive President, Dante Mossi, expressed that they continue to be committed to actions that help counteract the COVID 19 pandemic. With the contribution of the Government of Korea, we are delivering these supplies, which we hope will be of great help to health personnel in El Salvador.

The event was attended by CABEI Vice President, Jaime Díaz Palacios; Administrator of the Korea-CABEI Single Donor Trust Fund (KTF), Mr. Kunmin Kim, Director for the Republic of El Salvador, Mr. Luis Rodríguez; as well as the Country Chief Officer, Eng. Castaneda Trabanino; on behalf of the authorities of the Republic of El Salvador, the Minister and Vice-Minister of Health, Dr. Francisco Alabi and Dr. Karla Díaz, respectively, expressed their gratitude for the support provided by the donation of these supplies.

This support is part of the US$3 million from the KTF for the benefit of nine CABEI member countries to mitigate the spread of the pandemic.

In the case of El Salvador, MINSAL will be in charge of its distribution in the coming weeks and will issue a detailed report to CABEI.
