ICYMI: Japan has given the Philippines a 687-million-yen (about P304.7-million) grant so the Department of Health can buy more cold chain equipment for COVID-19 vaccines.

Jica will finance the purchase of cold chain equipment like portable vaccine boxes, refrigerated vaccine transport vehicles, as well as vaccine transport trucks.

“The program contributes to ‘last one mile support’ of the government of Japan for ensuring vaccination in every country,” Jica said. “COVID-19 has underlined a fundamental reality for many nations — we are all connected and we need to help one another so we can deal with all the challenges from the pandemic. As we sign new projects for cold storage and logistics equipment for the Philippines’ efforts against COVID-19, I hope that Jica and the Philippines continue to work in unity for a safe, stable, and secure future,” Jica’s chief representative in the Philippines Eigo Azukizawa said in a separate statement.
