NOC supports operations to fight the virus in 12 municipalities
National Oil Corporation (NOC) delivered on Sunday May 3, 2020, numerous medical items to Sabratha, Batten El-Jabal, Brega, Nalut, Zintan, Zuara, Riqdalin, Jalo, Jikharra, Awjilah, Riyayna and Al Jmail municipalities. This is part of NOC’s Good Neighbour initiative to respond rapidly to the needs of municipalities adjacent to its operations.
“The Libyan health sector is facing one of the biggest challenges ever. Therefore, we need support to be able to provide healthcare to whoever needs it. I think these medical supplies will help protect doctors, nurses and patients in many hospitals against the coronavirus, so they can survive during these difficult times. I would like to thank NOC for its continuous support to the region,” said Dr Basema Soltan, Director General of Jalo emergency hospital.
The medical supplies to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, included: protective masks and coveralls, disinfectant spraying equipment, hand sanitizers, and other medical materials. Many of these items have come from NOC’s international partners.
NOC and its international partners have allocated a budget estimated at $3 million to supply essential medical materials and distribute them to municipalities across Libya. The Sustainable Development Department of NOC is leading the assistance in coordination and co-operation with municipalities.
