The donation, worth about US$9.7 million, includes 800,000 doses of the Verocell vaccine, one ECMO ventilator and other medical equipment.
This is the largest aid Zhuang Autonomous Region has ever presented to Vietnam, showing the affection of the authorities and people of Guangxi province for Vietnam.
The donated vaccines and medical equipment will be distributed to the northern provinces who share a border line with China including Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang and Ha Giang.
