As the COVID-19 situation in Montenegro worsens, the United States continues to provide support to our friend, partner and Ally. This assistance builds on long-term U.S. investment in Montenegro’s health system.
After the first donations of three monitors to the Clinical Centre of Montenegro in April, which allow doctors to monitor the vital signs of critical patients connected to ventilators, we also provided materials for 4,000 COVID-19 tests.
#USA continues to support #Montenegro in its response to the pandemic.

More recently, on September 16, Ambassador Judy Rising Reinke visited Berane to present a mobile ultrasound and an equipment monitor provided through the U.S. European Command’s Humanitarian Assistance program.
It was an honor to present this valuable medical equipment to the General Hospital in #Berane yesterday. In the midst of a scary #COVID19 spike, I saw medical professionals 👩🔬👨🔬 who remain committed and focused on delivering quality care 💝. https://t.co/aBWwweT52U

Since 2010, USEUCOM has invested over $1.2 million in health-related projects throughout Montenegro.
As we continue to provide support to the Montenegrin health system, we join the national health authorities in calling on everyone to respect preventative measures. #DistancaRukeMaska
Only #AllTogether can we overcome the global pandemic!
We are proud of our partnership & our support continues in both big and small ways – for example, every day staff at @USEmbassyMNE wear masks 😷 to protect the health of our friends in 🇲🇪. Please stay healthy Montenegro! #SviZajedno #CoronaInfoCG #DistancaRukeMaska @ijzcg
