The Impact

FOCUS USA has secured funding for essential emergency medical supplies as well as communication efforts to raise awareness about the global coronavirus pandemic.

The funding has also helped distribute thousands of leaflets and posters to better educate the general population about COVID-19. A majority of the supplies and communication material, obtained by health units and facilities in the capital town and in the seven districts of the vulnerable GBAO region, has served hundreds of thousands of residents across the region. Overall, these support efforts constitute a significant boost to Tajikistan’s preparedness levels in managing and containing the spread of COVID-19.
