This includes acquisition of medicines, medical equipment and supplies, logistics, as well as the strengthening of the medical health system with pandemic preparedness interventions. Objectives The project is supporting the Plan de preparation et de réponse au nouveau Coronavirus (COVID-19) of the Nigerien Government to fight COVID-19.
