The donation of medical equipment is timely as the world continues to fight together against the Covid19 pandemic that has raged on for over a year. Our sympathies go out to those who have lost their loved ones and those who are recovering.

This year the State of Israel marked the 60^th anniversary of diplomatic relations and friendship with the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is of great importance that the State of Israel and the Federal Republic of Nigeria continue to foster their friendship through their tradition of cooperation in various areas including medicine, education, innovation, technology, and agriculture, among others.

We thank Professor Shlomi Constantini and the Ichilov hospital staff for keeping the Nigerian public in their hearts, and expressing it through this donation.

We believe that health and medical interventions are essential to building blocks for nations. Therefore, it is our hope that these medical equipment will be useful to the courageous medical personnel who have been working tirelessly to save lives.
