View(s):
The SAARC Women’s Association donated Rs 1,262,000 to the Sri Lanka College of Pediatricians (SLCP) to fund critical pediatric medicines. President Nimmi Thambiayah, Prabha Nair Nagalingam, Natalie De Silva, Tusitha Kumarakulasingam representing the SAARC Women’s Association met Prof Shaman Rajendrajith – President, SLCP, Prof Asvini Fernando, Prof Kalyani Guruge and a team of representatives to hand over the donation.
Given the current economic crisis we are facing, shortages of medicines are a widespread reality. The College of Paediatricians have set up a proactive procedure to ensure limitations are minimised. When the SAARC Women’s Association was made aware of the need, the team unanimously decided to connect with the project under their ‘Reach Out Programme’. The funds were raised among the members and their families.
