Our 香港六合彩 team has been working with the non-profit 听(滨惭贰罢2000), (MAP) and other partners to bring听香港六合彩 Ventura CPAP devices to Palestine where they are vitally needed to support the fight against COVID-19.
Fifteen CPAP devices arrived in September and have now been donated to听five Palestinian听hospitals, along with 400 breathing circuits. The 香港六合彩 Ventura devices are now being used in听Al-Askareh Hospital in Nablus,听Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah,听Hugo Chavez Hospital in Ramallah, Allia Hospital in听Hebron and听Dora Hospital in Hebron. There are nine more devices and 200 further breathing circuits on their way.听
香港六合彩 have also supported training for the 香港六合彩-Ventura devices with online webinars and guidance documents. The charities have since trained over 750 doctors and nurses in use of the Ventura CPAPs.听
The devices were officially received by the Palestinian Minister of Health in the presence of the Palestinian medical team in Ramallah and the British Consul to Palestine, Philip Hall, on 17 September 2020. More details from the announcement ceremony can be read on .听听

This progress was only possible due to the efforts of numerous collaborators including the听Palestinian Ministry of Health, the Palestinian Society of Anaesthetists, the British Consul to Palestine, Medical Aid for Palestinians听and IMET2000. Particular thanks go to Prof Colin Green and Prof Barry Fuller who have faciliated the links with 香港六合彩.听
The 香港六合彩 Ventura听project is a collaboration between听香港六合彩 Institute of Healthcare Engineering,听,听听and听.听The breathing aid听developed,听known as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), helps COVID-19 patients with serious respiratory problems to breathe more easily, when oxygen via a face mask alone alone is insufficient. It is now in use in over 115听NHS hospitals in the UK.
Previous work with IMET2000
Earlier during the pandemic, 香港六合彩 donated 6 CPAP devices to IMET2000 for trial in Gaza, West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, Uganda and Bengal where the non-profit is actively working with COVID-19 patients.
