India on Friday thanked the United States after it sent the first consignment of Covid-19 aid and said the healthcare partnership between the two nations can help tackle the global pandemic effectively. "A strategic partnership of global significance! Our healthcare partnership can help effectively tackle the global pandemic. Deeply appreciate gift of 423 oxygen cylinders with regulators and other medical supplies from the U.S.A.," the ministry of external affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi tweeted. The supplies in the first emergency relief shipment included over 400 oxygen cylinders and regulators donated by California, 960,000 rapid diagnostic tests and 100,000 N95 masks provided by USAID. The US sent help after its President Joe Biden assured to stand by India in its time of crisis.
