 The Ministry of Health and Wellness recently received a donation of ventilators and test kits from the Government of the Republic of China Taiwan following a handover ceremony at the Owen King EU Hospital. Taiwan's Ambassador His Excellency Peter Shen says his government remains committed to providing support to St Lucia in the fight against COVID-19. I'm proud to present to St Lucia this token of care and support from the government and people of Taiwan. All together, four ventilators and 3,000 test kits to contribute St Lucia's efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. For the past few months, under the leadership of the Honourable Prime Minister Shastney and the efforts of the Government of St Lucia, St Lucia has been remarkable in response to the pandemic. Prime Minister for St Lucia, the Honourable Alan Shastney says, he appreciates the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the continuous support provided. A genuine friend is one in which it's very easy to be able to measure the success of that relationship. And it's times when you need somebody in the smallest ways and certainly today's contribution, significant in monetary basis. But I also want to say to St Lucia that probably one of the most difficult things to get hold of in the world today is a ventilator. So it's not even something that money could buy. And that is what makes this gift so special on that to get four ventilators at this particular time. Minister for Health, Senator the Honourable Miri Isaac expressed gratitude to the Government and people of Taiwan for the donation, which will assist tremendously in the health sector. Ambassador, I'm always very touched when I get these gifts, when we get these gifts from Taiwan. And of course we continue to get your assistance at every point in time with every project in almost every area of our development in St Lucia. And it is really, we are very, very grateful for these gifts that you bestow upon us. Because they're not just fly-by-night gifts or just out of may to give something. They really and truly address an issue or problem that we are having in our country. The Government of the Republic of China, Taiwan made a donation of four ventilators and 3,000 antibody rapid tests.
