Providing technical support and essential supplies
WHO recently mobilized its global stockpile of personal protective equipment (PPE) to support priority countries in their preparedness efforts. Initial stocks were handed over today to the Department of Health for the use of health workers. The PPEs comprised of masks, examination gloves, respirators, isolation gowns and other equipment that will help protect frontline health workers as they diagnose and treat patients.

Strengthening laboratory capacities
WHO supported the Research Institute of Tropical Medicine (RITM) to enable performing of diagnostic testing for COVID-19 in country through the delivery of reagents and chemicals. RITM can now release confirmatory results within 24-48 hours of receiving samples. Prior to this, samples were being sent to a reference laboratory in Australia. Last year, WHO provided polymerase chain reaction (PCR) equipment to RITM so they can run different tests not only for COVID-19 but other infectious diseases such as HIV, polio, influenza-like illnesses and severe acute respiratory infections.
