The World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office in Libya delivered two Mechanical ventilators with all their accessories to the Alaafia Hospital in Houn city, one was delivered in December 2017 and the other one last week.

These neonatal ventilators will support the Gynecology and Obstetrics medical services at Alaafia Hospital, which covers underserved areas in the south and centre Libya.
