Podgorica, Montenegro (4 November 2020) – The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Montenegro, Major General Dragutin Dakić, and the Head of the Crisis Medical Team, Dr. Nermin Abdić, took over a valuable NATO donation of 20 ventilators. Their value is EUR 300,000, while the rest of the medical equipment worth EUR 500,000 is expected in the coming days.
"On behalf of the Ministry of Defence, I thank NATO for the valuable donation of medical equipment worth EUR 800,000. This is another proof of support within the Alliance that acts in all situations, including the COVID pandemic. It is confirmation that only with the unity and support of all partners in the NATO can we effectively oppose the challenges that today's world is facing," Major General Dakić said.
Dr. Abdić also thanked for the valuable and, especially at this moment, significant donation. "Today we have the opportunity to receive this valuable donation from our partners and friends from NATO. These are 20 ventilators worth EUR 300,000. In the following period, we will receive valuable medical equipment, also a donation from NATO, worth EUR 800,000. That medical equipment will be distributed to health institutions in Montenegro, according to the assessment of the Crisis Medical Staff, and in accordance with their needs," Abdić pointed out.
The remaining part of the equipment worth EUR 500,000, which will be delivered to Montenegro in the coming period, includes oxygen cylinders, manometers, oxygen atomizers, monitors and gas analysis devices.
"What I can say at this moment is that the health care system in Montenegro has 310 ventilators, and including these 20, there will be a total of 330 ventilators in Montenegro. Yesterday, we had four patients on ventilators and 21 patients, in the overall health system, on non-invasive ventilation," Dr. Abdić noted.
We remind you that Montenegro has previously requested assistance from the Alliance through the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC).
