Under the guidance of Sri Lanka’s Ambassador in the US Mahinda Samarasinghe, Heart to Heart International has now obtained all necessary Government approvals for the fourth in-kind donation of urgent medical aid, worth an approximate of $ 6,987,269.78 USD (Rs. 2.6 billion), to the people of Sri Lanka.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Health in Sri Lanka and this Embassy, the fourth donation is scheduled to arrive in Colombo Sri Lanka, via air by early next week. The latest donation includes specialised medicines such as: Everolinus, an immunosuppressant used for organ transplants; and Sunitinib Malate, used for cancer treatments.
The Sri Lankan Embassy in Washington, D.C. in a statement said it is immensely thankful to Heart to Heart International for the generous donations made to the people of Sri Lanka. Heart to Heart International has borne all expenses, and the donation will be received by the Ministry of Health for immediate distribution at no cost to the people of Sri Lanka.
