The District General Hospital Trincomalee is the latest beneficiary of Commercial Bank of Ceylon’s initiative to support government hospitals and healthcare institutions, and has received some essential medical equipment that will enhance the emergency care provided by the hospital.
The Bank’s donation to the Trincomalee hospital includes oxygen regulators, sphygmomanometers, saline stands, High Dependency Unit beds, bedside oximeters, cardiac monitors, a cardiotocography (CTG) machine, video laryngoscope, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) pump.
The CSR Trust of the Bank has already gifted medical equipment and gear including Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) kits, face masks, surgical masks, hand sanitisers, slit lamps, pulse oximeters, multipara monitors and oxygen concentrators to over 25 government hospitals to support them in the battle against COVID-19. These donations were made by the Bank to ensure the safety of caregivers, enhance the quality of healthcare experienced by patients, and help curb the spread of the virus. Commercial Bank also made a monetary donation to the National COVID-19 Healthcare and Social Security Fund set up by the government last year.
