Responding to a national need, Amãna Bank recently adopted a 1990 Suwa Seriya Ambulance as part of its commitment to support the people of Sri Lanka, which resonates with the bank’s people-friendly banking model. 
Established by an Act of Parliament and operating a fleet of 297 ambulances, The 1990 Suwa Seriya Service provides island-wide free pre-hospital emergency care to all Sri Lankans with an average response time of 11:30 minutes. Saving countless lives, 1990 Suwa Seriya ambulance has been the go to ambulance for many medical emergencies and the benefit of such was seen during the Covid-19 pandemic. 
With the 1990 Suwa Seriya service facing severe financial constraints due to the socio-economic crisis of the country, Amãna Bank’s much yearned donation will support its operational costs, including ambulance maintenance, fuel, medical equipment maintenance, staff refresher training, purchasing staff uniforms and staff safety equipment.
Commenting on Adopting a 1990 Suwa Seriya Ambulance, Amana Bank’s Managing Director/CEO Mohamed Azmeer said, “Resonating with our passion towards enabling growth and enriching lives of Sri Lankans, we at Amana Bank are committed to support initiatives that make a meaningful impact on all Sri Lankans. We believe that access to quality healthcare is a basic right, and we are proud to sponsor this endeavour that saves lives and brings relief to those in need.
