In Tajikistan, COVID19 infection has not yet subsided, and the burden on many hospitals is increasing. By utilizing the equipment provided this time, it is expected that the efficiency of treatment at each hospital will increase, and as a result, more people will be freed from illness and the lives of the people as a whole will improve.
