Abans recently launched the ‘Pivithuru Husmak – Saukkyarakshitha Hetak’ initiative by donating LG Anti-Virus Dual Cool Inverter air conditioners to the Meethotamulla Intermediate Care Centre operating under the National Hospital of Colombo, to help in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in Sri Lanka.

The donation programme took place on September 07th at the Abans Elite Showroom in Kollupitiya. 
Shehan Buhari, Manager of Abans Elite Showroom – Kollupitiya, officially handed over the air conditioners to Dr. Dhammika Adhikariwattage, President of the Rotary Club of Sri Jayawardenapura.

Conducted at the special request of Dr. Thushara Mathiwalage, who is in-charge of the Public Health Unitand Covid-19 Coordinator–Colombo National Hospital, this donation aims to increase the provision of modern facilities to the health services as urgently required to cope with the Covid-19 epidemic.

Abans carried out a similar project previously under the title of ‘Pivithuru Husmak – Saukkyarakshitha Hetak’, by donating LG Anti-Virus Dual Cool Inverter air conditioners which were installed in the general wards, intensive care units and operating theatres of selected hospitals in the Anuradhapura district.

The health authorities expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the timely and immense support received by Abans during the Covid-19 pandemic, as they stated how important donations were to improve the safety and hygienic conditions of hospital wards, intensive care units and operating theatres with state-of-the-art facilities to battle against the coronavirus.

Following through with their Corporate Social Responsibilities, Abans is grateful for the opportunity to launch such a significant CSR mission – at a time when the country is going through a challenging period – and is pleased to provide aid at such a critical juncture.

The LG Anti-Virus Dual Cool Inverter air conditioner uses the best technological advancements to remove germs and viruses from the air, thus ensuring that clean and hygienic air is circulated around the room. 

It also saves electricity by controlling the speed of the compressor to provide the required cooling faster and maintain it without interruptions, making it ideal for hospitals that require usage of air conditioners for longer periods of time.

As a result of the valuable donation conducted for the betterment of hospital environments, especially with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, Abans has received great laurels by the general public, including the health authorities.
