Delivery Trends for future years:
Government expressed concerns
about budget in CPAP (high
resource mobilization planned);
However, with current tendency
we can significantly overcome
this figure:
230,500.00
166,000.00
With current trend the delivery may
go even beyond $230 million
This means possible 138% delivery
for CPAP
CPAP planned delivery
