DTW International (Pvt) Ltd (DTW) in partnership with UPL Limited (UPL) donated a high tech ULV fogging equipment to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in response to the immediate need at the Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) of Sri Lanka, the main nerve centre of treating COVID-19 patients in Sri Lanka.
The companies responded to a request for high tech ULV equipment for the IDH by former Army Commander General Daya Ratnayake (Retd.), who is the Chairperson of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) and a member of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19. As the primary treatment centre for the Coronavirus pandemic in Sri Lanka, the medical personnel and staff of the IDH, and the members of the tri-force assisting them; have gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that all patients are treated effectively. The hospital has also extended assistance and guidance to other medical facilities in the forefront of the country’s battle against the pandemic.
Therefore, DTW together with UPL stepped forward to perform their duty by the country, equipping the hospital with a high tech ULV equipment especially designed for indoor ultra-low volume applications through this donation. The companies intend to equip IDH Hospital with the best available ULV technology to further strengthen their heroic task of protecting Sri Lanka from this invisible enemy. These units are presently being used globally in the battle against COVID-19 enabling public health workers to undertake disinfection in hotels, hospitals, office spaces, malls, and public transport spaces in the most efficient way.
