Health Minister Patty Hajdu says Canada is working to increase the number of ventilators it has to meet an expected urgent need as a result of required treatment for COVID-19.
She says both in Canada and abroad, officials are also working on figuring out the best treatments for the illness, and finding a vaccine.
Hajdu says procurement efforts for medical equipment need to take into account making sure all countries have access to what they need, and those demands are evolving in real-time.
