Daiman Cares shines through the darkness

On Monday, April 13, it was reported that there was a short supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for front-line personnel treating patients affected by Covid19.

The report stated that PPE is one of the disposal items that are used daily and the current stock would last for just another two weeks.

While the Ministry of Health would proceed with their normal channel in the procurement of PPE, it also welcomed donations from Non-Governmental Organisations.

Incidentally, among other things shared in A season of darkness (April 12), I said:

“While you may feel helpless and restless, just waiting for the MCO to be over, give serious thought to the front-liners who are working hard and risking their lives to care for the sick.

But if you can contribute in one way or another, in supporting charities for the less privileged or to do volunteer work, please step forward. Just reach out to the charity of your choice now.”

Meanwhile I was glad that socially conscious individuals, groups and organisations were already contributing their time, effort and resources to the marginalized community here.

Then on April 28, I was delighted to learn that the Daiman Group presented Hospital Sultanah Aminah and Hospital Sultan Ismail with parcels of protective equipment that would go a long way to supplement their current stock.

Through their Daiman Cares Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm, the Daiman Group responded to the plea for public donations by the Johor Doctors’ Association to battle the Covid19 pandemic.

A small team from Daiman Cares delivered the parcels and presented them to hospital representatives at the two main government hospitals in Johor Baru.

The protective equipment donated included 2,000 N95 face masks and 300 sets of PPE comprising disposable coveralls and safety goggles for use by medical front-liners.

The parcels presented by the Daiman Group was safely received at Hospital Sultan Ismail, Johor Baru 

The Johor Doctors’ Association continues to appeal for donations as this protective equipment are disposable items that they need to use daily.
