Given the still very high number of people infected with coronavirus and the extreme pressure on the health system, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany decided to donate 50 ventilators and 10,000 pulse oximeters worth a total of €530,000 to hospitals throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, German Embassy to BiH said Thursday.

German Ambassador Margret Uebber, BiH Civil Affairs Minister Ankica Gudeljevic, Federation and Republika Srpska entity Crisis Staff representatives Goran Cerkez and Vlado Miocevic, as well as Boris Rebac, the WHO representative in the country, will take over the donated equipment.

The handover ceremony will take place Friday.
