Implemented Activities

Public Health Emergencies Preparedness
  • Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
  • World Bank
  • Japan
  • To prevent, detect and respond to the threat posed by COVID-19 and strengthen national systems for public health preparedness in the Republic of Panama.

  • The Government of Japan agreed to contribute more than US $ 2.7 million to help nine countries in the Americas - Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama , Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela — to expand their response to the new coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. The project also aims to increase the capacity of national health systems to care for patients with COVID-19 and to protect vulnerable people. In addition, it aims to strengthen the provision of reliable public health information on the COVID-19 outbreak and protection measures to the people involved in the response, as well as to the general population.
