On May 19, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a grant agreement with the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand in Bangkok, to provide grant aid of up to 500 million yen for the Programme for COVID-19 Crisis Response Emergency Support.
The programme aims to increase the effectiveness of the quarantine and medical systems currently in place against COVID-19 by improving border measures. This will be accomplished through such means as providing medical equipment related to the testing, diagnostic, and therapeutic systems used when people enter the country. The program will contribute to the building of a resilient health system in order to prepare for post-COVID situations, as well as to the achievement of SDGs Goal 3 (Good health and well-being).
