Soneva donated $27,000 worth of medical supplies to medical centres in Baa and Noonu atolls today, to support local health facilities that have faced extra strain due to the pandemic.
The medical equipment, which Soneva purchased and shipped from abroad, was handed over to local health providers at Baa. Eydhafishi and Noonu Manadhoo, during a small ceremony on Zoom.
Health Minister Ahmed Naseem and Soneva CEO Sonu Shivdasani participated in the ceremony, alongside officials from Health Ministry, Baa Atoll Hospital, Noonu Atoll Hospital as well as local council representatives from Baa and Noono atoll.
We are thankful to Soneva for this generous donation, which would contribute towards our goal of upgrading the health services provided to our communities.
