The COVID -19 third wave has seen an increased rise in the number of reported cases and in response to this, HSBC Sri Lanka partnered with A-PAD Sri Lanka to facilitate emergency medical equipment including ventilators and oxygen machines to manage the current in-patient requirements at the Gampaha District Base Hospital.
The request for emergency medical essentials was made by the Ministry of Health to Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management Sri Lanka (A-PAD) given the rapid rise in cases within the Gampaha district.
This is the third instance HSBC Sri Lanka has come forward to support communities affected by the pandemic.
Previously, HSBC partnered with A-PAD to support the local healthcare services by donating protective gear and medical equipment for use, in addition to rations for communities in lockdown and supplies to make quarantine centres more livable.
