JOHOR BARU: The fight against the Covid-19 outbreak in the state received a boost when Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar donated 42 ventilators to Johor hospitals.
His Majesty handed out the donation to state Health Department director Dr Aman Rabu at Istana Pasir Pelangi here on Saturday (April 11).
Also present was Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad and state Secretary Datuk Azmi Rohani.
In a statement posted on Sultan Ibrahim’s official Facebook page, Sultan Ibrahim said the donation was given through the Yayasan Sultan Ibrahim Johor (YSIJ).
“The ventilators that we give out are donations from donors, as well as my friends, where I understand the current situation of hospitals needing the machine to treat patients.
“This is a cooperation between myself, friends, donors, as well as the state government, to lessen the government’s burden,” he added.
Sultan Ibrahim also said the ventilators would be distributed to hospitals in the state based on need as set by Dr Aman.
“It is not easy to get the machines, especially during the Covid-19 outbreak. We worked hard to get it.
“If there are others who are willing to donate to YSIJ, we can help to get more for the usage of hospitals,” he added.
