The UAE announced on Thursday that it had donated $10 million (Dh36.73 million) worth of PCR Covid-19 testing kits sufficient for 500,000 people to the World Health Organization.
The donation of the testing kits supports global efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19 in light of the scarcity of testing supplies in several countries.
To date, the UAE has responded to the Covid-19 crisis by providing over 714 tonnes of medical aid to 63 countries in need.
