CSR: L&T donates 24 ventilators to dedicated COVID-19 hospitals in Surat

L&T has procured and supplied 24 ventilators in an effort to immediately alleviate the shortage of medical equipment in South Gujarat. In the backdrop of the increased numbers of positive cases requiring ventilator support, L&T provided high-end ventilators to SMIMER, Civil and other dedicated COVID-19 hospitals in South Gujarat.

The critical medical equipment was handed over to MP and Gujarat BJP President, C.R Patil, in the presence of M Thennaresan (CEO, CSR Authority, Gandhinagar), Banchchanidhi Pani (Commissioner-SMC), Dr. Dhaval Patel (DM & Collector- Surat) and Smt Ardra Agrawal (DM & Collector – Navsari), Sandip Desai (District BJP President), Zankhanaben Patel (MLA-Choryasi), Mukesh Patel (MLA-Olpad) and Atik Desai (VP CAO, L&T – Hazira).

With the urgency of augmenting the medical infrastructure and capacity, M Thennarasan requested L&T to provide high-end ventilators to dedicated COVID-19 hospitals. Acting swiftly, L&T’s management delivered 24 units of the Allied Meditec 1700 ventilator units with ABIPAP with stand and accessories, as a part of its philanthropic response to help fight the devastating second wave of COVID-19 in Gujarat.

L&T also distributed masks to various panchayats. Earlier this week, L&T also announced that it will soon start delivering 22 oxygen generators to various hospitals in India, where the scarcity is most acute.
