The COVID19 epidemic has struck its devastating blow across the world, and Sri Lanka is no exception. The increasing number of infections across the country are rapidly exhausting the resources of governmental health authorities and the need for protective measures to be taken by medical personnel is more crucial than ever.
As such, there is an overwhelming requirement for costly personal protective equipment (PPE) kits for such personnel, so that their capability in providing essential health services - and their own lives - would not be compromised. Additional finances would also be required to fulfil the daily protection requirements of the hospital staff members and to also maintain the operational capacity of the already stretched medical institutions involved in the task of curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
Furthermore, the fear and panic that has accompanied the spread of the virus makes it essential for health professionals to be able to provide the necessary psycho-social support to the victims of the disease, their families and friends, and to all those who require it during this critical time.
Therefore, in the context of such a disastrous epidemic, the Sri Lanka Red Cross requires your help in supporting and protecting our noble medical professionals who risk their lives to protect us: when you help us protect them, you help to protect the nation. You can donate as you see fit for this cause; your generosity can help the entire nation recover.
