The assistance is intended to focus on infection prevention and control and to shield communities, particularly those most vulnerable including the health workers. The $480,000 grant, is considered the first granted to the North African nation under the SRF since 2014. The PPE equipment to be procured will be distributed to hospitals across the country designated for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Accordingly, the Bank support will be implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO) operating in Libya.
