The Health Ministry has handed over medical equipment, devices, and medicines to health facilities in Sirte, including the city's main hospital of Ibn Sina.

In a statement, the ministry explained that the step comes in response to the deficit of medical supplies in the city.

According to the statement, the supplies included ultrasound and x-ray machines, monitoring devices, ventilators, electrocardiograms, and an MRI machine, in addition to spare parts of cardiac catheterization instruments.

Besides medicines and equipment, the Sirte Oncology Center also received a mobile vehicle for early detection of breast cancer.

This step is part of the Health Ministry plan to provide the needs of health facilities to ensure the provision of medical services to all citizens across Libya without exception, the ministry said.
