USAID to give $4 million in C-19 assistance to Cambodia

[geovalin]

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) yesterday announced an additional $4 million in urgent Covid-19 assistance for Cambodia.

 

This assistance will provide timely support, particularly in light of the United States’ recent donation of 1,060,100 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine through The COVAX Facility, to increase Cambodia’s readiness to administer Covid-19 vaccines, promote vaccination in eligible populations, provide public health interventions to manage Covid-19, and strengthen laboratories to expand testing capacity.

 

US Ambassador Patrick Murphy said advancing global health security and disease outbreak preparedness is vital not only to protect health and safety but also to ensure economic prosperity and defend the security of our countries. “We are proud to provide this support, which will help Cambodians protect themselves, their neighbours and their economic future,” he said.
