Northern Ireland is to provide three oxygen generation units to India, Stormont’s Health Minister has announced.
The units are being transported to India as part of the UK-wide response to the escalating Covid crisis in the country.
The units were procured as part of the region’s own response to the Covid emergency.
They were not ultimately required in Northern Ireland hospitals.
Announcing the decision to send the units to India, Health Minister Robin Swann said he hoped they would help save lives.
“A humanitarian crisis is unfolding and providing support is undoubtedly the right thing to do,” he said.
