With the aim to contribute towards the combat of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Maliban Biscuits recently donated special cold storage facilities and highly essential medical equipment to treat infected patients, at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH).

The donation recently commenced on 1 April at the IDH Dental Hospital and was graced by Maliban Managing Director Kumudika Fernando, Maliban Group CEO Ravi Jayawardena, IDH Hospital Director Dr. Hasitha Aththanayake and IDH Hospital Deputy Director Dr. Chintha Sooriyarachchi.

Renowned for its reputation as a brand which steps forward to provide its utmost support during times of need, Maliban Biscuits further supplied the hospital staff with snacks such as yahaposha, biscuits and tea, to help sustain their energy while being on the frontlines of the pandemic. Additional to the donation at IDH Dental Hospital, Maliban Biscuits recently aided the Manusath Derana program with its products as well.

Maliban Group CEO Ravi Jayawardena stated, “During this critical period, IDH provides an incredible service to all Sri Lankan citizens. On behalf of the Maliban Group, it is a great pleasure to be able to donate to IDH and its valued staff. We really appreciate the efforts made by all staff members and I humbly request all Sri Lankans to help them as much as possible during this period.”
