Staff of the Maliban Biscuits group has donated biomedical equipment to the Gampaha District General Hospital and other essential equipment to the Kalutara Nagoda General hospital and the Ragama Teaching Hospital.
Maliban’s contributions also include their investment of Rs. 3.314 million in donations to the Colombo South Teaching Hospital in Kalubowila, the company said in a media release.
Maliban noted that this significant donation was made possible due to contributions made by fellow staff members of the Maliban Group of Companies including Maliban Biscuits, Maliban Milk, Maliban Dairy & Agri, Little Lion, Golden Bake and Wonder Pak.
Recognising the dire need for support and following their commitment towards protecting the local community, especially in times of crisis, Maliban has taken yet another proactive measure to help stand by the nation in the face of a deadly global pandemic.
With a total investment of Rs. 2.5 million, the company intrepidly undertook the role of providing non-invasive ventilation machines each to the two hospitals, which are crucial to treat patients affected by the virus.
The Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) machines which provide ventilatory support through the patient's upper airway using a mask or similar device, is distinguished from those which bypass the upper airway with a tracheal tube, laryngeal mask, or tracheostomy and are therefore considered invasive. These machines are much needed to treat COVID infected patients, particularly those requiring advanced respiratory support.
Above - The ventilation machines were donated to Dr. Chintha Gunarathna – Deputy Director of Nagoda General Hospital by Rohana Wijesooriya – Group HR and Admin Manager and Dimuth Liyanagama – Group Talent Development Manager.
