The State Department said the aid was intended to meet health needs in South Asia.

The spokesman further said that 1200 plus oximeters and 340,000 PPE kits would be sent to Pakistan.

On the other hand, the United States has announced to provide 80 million doses of corona vaccine worldwide.

The Corona vaccine will be delivered before July, according to a White House statement. Countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, South and Southeast Asia and Africa are on the priority program.
