HANOI, VIETNAM : VinGroup fulfilled its obligations to deliver ventilators to Singapore, Russia and Ukraine. This included invasive ventilators called Vsmart VFS-510 that VinGroup produced for non-profit purpose to aid COVID-19 treatment in many countries.

Thanks to the countries’ embassies to Vietnam, Vingroup initially gave 500 VFS-510 ventilators to Russia and 300 VFS-510 devices to Ukraine.

Now a further 1,600 Vsmart VFS-410 ventilators as specified in the memorandum of agreement will be delivered for the second phase by August 30, 2020.

Once the handover has been completed, the countries’ embassies plan to transfer ventilators to the localities, for the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vingroup experts began researching the technology needed to produce the machines and mass production of the ventilators began three months after the research and manufacturing of the ventilators was announced to fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
