Under its “Amalgamated Security Saving Lives” program, ASSL donated much-needed appliances to the Ministry of Health on Saturday, 18th of April 2020, supporting the Ministry’s National Response efforts to the Global Covid-19 Pandemic. The appliances are destined for two Step-Down Quarantine Facilities, the National Racquet Sports Centre in Tacarigua, and the Brooklyn Facility in Sangre Grande.
Mrs. Patti-Ann Williams, Chief Technical Coordinator – Disaster Preparedness, Ministry of Health, thanked Amalgamated Security’s representatives for the company’s donation, saying it will greatly contribute to setting up the National Racquet Sports Centre as a comfortable facility for Covid-19 Step-Down Patients. Dr. Allana Best, County Medical Officer of Health, St. Andrew / St. David, also emphasized how much these appliances will assist in further improving the comfort level of the patients at the already operational Brooklyn Step-Down Facility.
As an essential service provider and responsible corporate citizen, Amalgamated Security wholeheartedly embraced this opportunity to support the Ministry of Health in the common fight against this pandemic.
