The global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is severely affecting healthcare systems and economic activity. Our country is under lockdown to slow the spread of the disease and prevent community transmission.
Designated hospitals are getting overloaded by patients & relatives while facing an extreme shortage of protective equipment. The lockdown is also causing severe economic difficulty, especially for daily wage-earner families.
Our teams are at the frontlines supporting public health officials and community organisations. Your donations will go towards fighting the spread of the virus, keeping health workers safe and support community resilience.
