MAS Holdings (Pvt.) Ltd. announced yesterday (11) that it has thus far distributed close to 20,000 personal protective equipment (PPE) to over 100 institutions islandwide in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Joint Apparel Association Forum Sri Lanka (JAAFSL).
This includes the MoH as well as hospitals including the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (IDH) and the General Hospitals of Colombo, Kandy, Kalutara, Hambantota, Trincomalee, Ragama, Welikanda, Homagama, Jaffna, and Kilinochchi, among others. MAS also supported Sri Lanka Navy, 1990 Suwa Seriya ambulance service, and Sri Lanka Police with much-needed PPE.
Adhering to the globally accepted health regulations and hygiene standards to help minimise the risk of spread of the virus, MAS has produced a range of medical apparel that includes woven cotton reusable PPE kits with water repellent coating, non-woven disposable PPE kits, polyethylene disposable PPE kits, reusable plastic PPE kits, surgical and reusable masks, faceguards and scrubs, as well as an unmanned Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) that enables hospital staff to remotely monitor and engage with Covid-19 patients. Furthermore, while fast adapting to new manufacturing regulations in specialised, highly hygienic limited production lines to meet the local PPE demand, MAS Holdings has over the past few weeks heavily invested in the research and development of face masks in the face of the current global PPE shortage.
“As the company continues to support the Government in protecting Sri Lanka’s frontline workers, MAS’ ability to adapt, innovate, re-engineer, and rethink has allowed the company to discover new avenues to support the country during the immediate crisis, while also exploring untapped potential of new manufacturing verticals in the long term,” MAS said in a press release.
MAS Holdings manages a portfolio of businesses and is positioned as one of the world’s most recognised design-to-delivery solution providers in the realm of apparel and textile manufacturing. It is also the largest apparel and textile manufacturer in South Asia. The organisation is headquartered in Sri Lanka with 53 manufacturing facilities placed across 16 countries, with design locations placed in key style centres across the globe and over 99,000 people involved in its operation.
