“The EU continues to join the targeted efforts to strengthen the health systems worldwide and overcome COVID-19. Thanks to the developments in science, vaccines are one of the most efficient ways to that end, and we need to ensure that they reach people in a safe and efficient manner. Thus, the refrigerated truck is another contribution to ensuring proper cold storage equipment and transportation of vaccines all over Armenia.
We are happy to cooperate with WHO and the Government of Armenia to help people stay healthy and resilient to the virus,” said Andrea Wiktorin, the Ambassador, Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Armenia.
The European Union (EU) and World Health Organization (WHO) donated today a brand-new refrigerated truck to the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) under the Ministry of Health (MoH) of the Republic of Armenia as part of ongoing support to the national response to COVID-19 pandemic.
The truck is equipped with independent electrical support and a diesel generator to ensure vaccine safety and efficiency 24 hours, 7 days a week, including in emergencies and lack of electricity.
