With the increase of COVID-19 cases, hospitals across the country have become critical centres to test, treat and care for patients who are in need. As such, SLT-Mobitel donated the third PCR machine to the Kotelawala Defence University Hospital (KDUH) on Wednesday (18). The Rs. 5.2 million worth donation is a part of the company’s ‘Sabandiyawe Sathakaraya’ CSR initiative in helping the nation’s healthcare systems and communities in need.

Previously, PCR machines were handed over to the Base Hospital, Karawanella and the District General Hospital, Matale. SLT-Mobitel appreciates the support received from all Sri Lankans towards ‘Daana Paaramitha’ which was conceptualised as a platform to further increase community involvement in carrying out relief efforts to support families affected by the pandemic.
