Dear Mariam,

Upon you request we would like to inform you that in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization, the LEPL Regulation Agency for Medical and Pharmaceutical Activities in February conducted an assessment of the readiness of hospitals in terms of infection control, the number of ventilators and qualified medical staff. In total, 297 inpatient facilities (86% privately owned) operate across the country with 17,514 beds, out of which 2,290 are for intensive care and emergency medical services and facilities have 2043 operating or reserved ventilators. 1749 are suitable for the management of respiratory distress syndrome.

Thank you for cooperation and sorry for the delayed response.
