Given that Emergency Ventilators from Hamilton Medical
has the advantage of being a turbine-powered device that can provide a 21% to 100% oxygen concentration to the patient, and in the event of a power outage or balloon depletion or in a field where there
is no oxygen source, it can transform an oxygen concertation from atmospheric air. As for the Phillips breathing apparatus it does not have a neonatal breathing mode.

Considering the urgent need, we are also satisfied with the delivery terms of the proposed items. First batch will be delivered in early June.

In the light of above, we would like to kindly request the World Bank’s No Objection to proceed with direct contracting with MDS LTD for 20 units of Mobile Emergency
