Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to the USA Ravinatha Aryasinha yesterday (19) called on Overseas Sri Lankans (OSLs) and Friends of Sri Lanka in the US to contribute relief goods and make donations due to the urgency resulting from the increasing number of COVID infected persons being detected in Sri Lanka and the challenges posed in treating them, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
In a communication addressed to the community, Ambassador Aryasinha said the immediate need is for ventilators, oxygen concentrators, high flow oxygen units, multi-parameter monitors, PPEs including N95 masks and telemedicine platforms which could be used by medical professionals in Sri Lanka. Providing an update on the efforts being made to procure COVID-19 vaccines from the US, Ambassador Aryasinha said Sri Lanka’s urgent need for AstraZeneca vaccines has been well received by the US Government in late April, but the release of this vaccine to all countries in need will have to be preceded by authorization for its use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Following the announcement on Monday (17 May) that the US will also share already domestically authorized vaccines, he said Sri Lanka is seeking to secure Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccines through this modality. Additionally, the Embassy had also facilitated discussions between the State Pharmaceuticals Corporation and the J&J Regional Manager in India, with a view to enabling the purchase of these vaccines.SL's envoy to US calls for donations due to SL's COVID urgency
