Standing side by side as a friend and partner, Bahrain has joined international efforts to help India in its fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19). As the country suffers critical oxygen shortages amid a devastating surge in COVID cases, the Kingdom is sending medical equipment and oxygen to India.
The Cabinet, during yesterday’s weekly remote meeting chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, expressed Bahrain’s support to India in its time of need.
In a show of solidarity with the people of India, the Cabinet extended sincere condolences to its government and citizens following the deaths of COVID-19 patients.
The US, UK and other European Union members, as well as other Middle Eastern countries, have begun sending ventilators and oxygen concentrator devices to India.
The global response to India’s call for help comes more than two weeks after oxygen shortages were reported across the country. The Indian government is now coordinating a multi-pronged approach to ramp up oxygen availability from abroad, including tapping embassies in countries where they can be sourced, speaking to governments to waive regulatory delays, and ensuring no disruptions in supply chains.
On the occasion of World Day for Safety and Health at Work, the Cabinet stressed the importance of occupational health and safety across workplaces.
