mitigate its effects on the Member States and this response included renewed partnerships with development agencies, a new partnership with the private sector and support from bi-lateral friends.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad0 id_ad_content-horiz-center\">\n<p>Earlier this month, the Government of Brazil donated US $100,000 to the OECS in support of their response to obtain testing supplies.<\/p>\n<p>So far, 8000 swabs\/sample kits have already been distributed to the nine participating Member States of the OECS Pharmaceutical Procurement Services (PPS).<\/p>\n<p>Of that amount, 2000 PCR test kits have been donated to St. Lucia, while another 2000 have been earmarked for Grenada given the recent cluster of COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad2 id_ad_content-horiz-center\">\n<p>The remaining test kits will be kept in storage to assist Member States that may need them in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador of the Federative Republic of Brazil to S. Lucia and the OECS, Anuar Nahes, said this initial donation is just the beginning of Brazil\u2019s willingness to assist the OECS region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Brazil Cooperation Agency has asked me to convey to you that they are ready to do more. With the exception of vaccinations, they are ready to share much-needed supplies with the OECS and its Member States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Carlene Radix, Health of the Human and Social Cluster received the donation on behalf of the OECS, noting that these tests will help augment Member States\u2019 capacity and response to the in-country testing needs. She said,<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThe 6000 test kits from this initial donation by Brazil will go a very long way in terms of increasing the capacity of testing for our Member States, especially those who are experiencing clusters of cases, because now the in-country laboratories have scaled up their operations to be able to meet the testing demands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis donation is another example of the benefits to be derived from the OECS Economic Union,\u201d said Nahes who handed over St. \u00a0Lucia\u2019s allocation to the country\u2019s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sharon Belmar-George.<\/p>\n<p>CMC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-929407039\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government of Brazil has donated 6,000 COVID-19 test kits to the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), in a bid to help countries in the sub-region, in the fight against the pandemic.
