When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in Vietnam, in response to the call of the Vietnamese government, his company has made contributions by donating cash. However,  Duong said, this time, he decided to buy ventilators because there is a shortage of medical equipment, especially ventilators, when too many people are hospitalized.

With the help of the Consulate General of Vietnam and Vietnam Airlines, ventilators were transported to Vietnam within two days, he said.

According to Duong, VWS representatives in Vietnam have also donated medical supplies and equipment for pandemic prevention and control, such as antibacterial hand sanitizer and N95 face masks, SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen rapid test kits, and food to support people who are in need.
