A number of fully operational ventilators have been donated to a London hospital from the set of the British medical drama 'Holby City'.
The BBC said the ventilators arrived at the Nightingale Hospital on Thursday.
The make-shift hospital has been set up in the Excel conference centre in the British capital.
The 'Holby City' show, which is set in a fictional city, has paused production.
Executive producer Simon Harper said: "We are only too happy to help out and do what we can for the courageous and selfless real life medics."
It is unclear how many ventilators have been donated, or why operational medical equipment was used on set.
Last month, 'Holby City' and fellow BBC hospital drama 'Casualty' announced plans to donate protective equipment and other kit from their sets.
The Nightingale Hospital can hold up to 4,000 patients, and is the first of several such facilities planned across Britain.
