Chevron donates air mattresses to National Hospital

Chevron recently donated several air mattresses for patients being treated in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (Recovery Care Unit) of the National Hospital of Sri Lanka.

The air mattress is a necessity for all SICU patients who are critically ill, in order to prevent bed sores and deep vein thrombosis of prolonged immobilised patients. The air mattress units donated by Chevron to the National Hospital Recovery Care Unit will help facilitate a speedy recovery for patients being treated immediately after a surgery.

Corporate responsibility has long been a part of the organisations values and the way it operates. The social responsibility projects carried out by Chevron is driven largely by a commitment to socio-economic development, based on research that considers the medical, social, economic, and cultural dynamics shaping the future of Sri Lanka.  According to the organisation, community partnerships and being socially responsible are fundamental to the broader success of the business as it assists in ways that help stimulate economic growth and enable communities to prosper.
