The Sustainable Development Department of the National Oil Corporation (NOC) received on Wednesday April 22, 2020, a shipment of medical cargo that was supplied by the French company Total, to contribute to the fight against coronavirus (Covid-19). 

Doctors, nurses and other health professionals will soon receive thousands of new medical items and new protective clothing to help them deal with the pandemic.  

The medical and personal protection items included: masks, oxygen prongs, protective gowns, disinfectant sprayers, thermometers, gloves and other medical supplies. These will be delivered to municipalities in the near future. 

Mr Mokhtar Abdedayem, manager of NOC’s Sustainable Development Department, said: “We continue to provide essential medical materials to the areas adjacent to our operations. We delivered a convoy of medical goods to the southern region last week and we will deliver more medical supplies to other regions soon. I am confident these goods will protect the lives of thousands of Libyans.”
