Medical supplies added to national reserve.

According to Finance Minister Dinh Tien Dung, in the face of the complicated and unpredictable Covid-19 epidemic, the current sources of medical supplies and equipment at medical facilities are not enough to meet the demand.

Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee for Financial and Budgetary Affairs Nguyen Duc Hai agreed with the above proposal.

He suggested that after the resolution was passed, the Government must promptly issue a guiding document detailing the list of medical supplies and equipment to be added to the national reserve.
