 INSEE Cement has responded to a humanitarian aid request madeby the National Hospital of Sri Lanka’s (NHSL) Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU).

 The medical supplies provided by INSEE Cement to the MICU at the NHSL will assist the facility to continue operations in the immediate future.

The medicalsupplies were officially handed over to the NHSL by Nandana Ekenayake, Chairman/ Chief Executive Officer of INSEE Cement together with Chandana Nanayakkara Head of External Affairs of INSEE Cement at a small, informal ceremony to commemorate the event, along with Dr. Dilshan Priyankara, Dr. Sajeewaka, and Shiromi- Nurse-in-charge from the NHSL. 

“We’re honoured to know that the NHSL has confidence in us to request our assistance in this instance,” said Nandana Ekenayake, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of INSEE Cement.

“We quickly went to work procuring the necessary materials after learning of the facility’s difficulties, which was no simple effort in the current environment. We are grateful, however, that we were able to get enough supplies, which have now been delivered to the hospital,” he said.

Ekenayake added that the company is glad to have been able to contribute to the support of saving lives and ensure that patients in critical condition have adequate access to lifesaving equipment and facilities as a company that strives to ‘Build for life.
