After more than a year of battling the Covid-19 pandemic, the renewed wave of infections continues to overload our healthcare resources and intensive care capacity in the hospitals. Malaysia’s main Covid-19 facility, Selangor-based Sungai Buloh Hospital, which accepts Stage Four and Five patients or complex Covid-19 cases, is almost full and requires much-needed supplies and equipment.
During these challenging times, IOI Foundation (formerly known as Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng) is always committed to extending a helping hand. IOI Foundation (formerly known as Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng) Executive Director Datin Joanne Wong (third from left in top pic) visited the hospital on 11 June 2021 to contribute life-saving medical equipment worth RM100,000 to Sungai Buloh Hospital Director Dr Kuldip Kaur (fourth from left in top pic). The equipment consisted of two units of central patient monitoring systems, four units of oxygen ventilators, and 50 units of medical beds.
The donation supports Taiwan Buddhist Tzu-Chi Foundation Malaysia’s (Tzu-Chi) Solidarity Fund, which was set up in response to the urgent needs of our public hospitals and healthcare professionals who are battling Covid-19 on the frontlines.
