Keells donates safety gear to Colombo Public Health Inspectors (PHI’s)

Keells recently donated 100 Personal Protetcive Equipment (PPE) kits and face shields to the Colombo Public Health Inspectors.
Together with the collaboration of the John Keells Foundation, Keells made this donation to the Colombo PHI’s who are playing a very important role in the front lines maintaining public safety during this COVID-19 pandemic period, the company said in a media release.
In the months of March and April, Keells supported many community efforts with the supermarket chain donating 20 tons of vegetables to the armed forces, the Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH) and also charity organizations just before the lockdown. 
A request from the Gampaha District Hospital for face masks was also fulfilled by providing the hospital with 500 KN95 masks identifying the importance of the safety of essential service workers. 300 packs of essentials were also distributed by Keells to farmers and families facing a lockdown in Sooriyawava, a location that Keells has been sourcing fresh produce for 8 years.
