He disclosed that it has adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) available and is prepared to utilize these resources as necessary to respond to any developments. It also committed to sharing these resources with other health facilities should the need arise.

“As part of our response plan, the Center has stocked sufficient PPEs and is actively putting in place preventive and control measures to protect both patients and staff,” he added.

Mr. Garsini emphasized the importance of swift and coordinated public health interventions to mitigate risks and prevent further infections.

He also issued a call to the public, encouraging vigilance and strict adherence to guidelines issued by national and local health authorities.
