The U.S.-Bangladesh Business Council, Chevron, and Project C.U.R.E. send urgent relief.
Project C.U.R.E. recently partnered with U.S.-Bangladesh Business Council representatives who joined officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Directorate General of Health Services and U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires JoAnne Wagner in welcoming a special delivery of essential medical supplies to bolster the country’s response to COVID-19. The medical supplies were donated by the U.S.-Bangladesh Business Council in partnership with Chevron. The donation includes 60 oxygen concentrators, as well as variable positive air pressure (VPAP) units, and other oxygen supplies and device accessories – as well as 45,000 pieces of personal protective equipment, including KN95 and N95 masks – to help COVID-19 patients at medical colleges across the country.
