Kansai Plascon, a paint company, has donated medical supplies worth Shs50 million to the Entebbe Grade B Hospital.
The donation, which is part of the recently concluded ‘Paint and Win’ Colours of Celebration promotion, was handed over by the Plascon Managing Director, Mr. Santosh Gumte, at the hospital premises in Entebbe, Wakiso District, on Monday, February 21, 2022.
Every year, Plascon runs the ‘Paint and Win’ promotion, which serves as a platform for the brand to strengthen relations and reward its dealers, customers, and painters with various prizes for their loyalty and continuous support. Also as part of the promotion, the company carries out a number of CSR activities.
Mr Gumte said: “For our 10th Edition of Paint and Win, we chose to celebrate you – the people who have kept us going. Your love for Plascon has led us to numerous successes and we want to say thank you.”
“Entebbe Grade B Hospital was the first hospital to handle cases of Covid-19 in and continues to take lead in the fight against the pandemic. We hope our contribution will be a good addition to the already existing equipment and a pat on the back for the brave health workers who wake up every day, risk everything to give hope to our communities,” he added.
The company repainted the wards at the hospital and donated mattresses, gloves, face masks, buckets, basins, JIK, disinfectant liquid and sanitizer for the hospital.
“We also are providing paint worth Shs25 million and the labour to give the hospital a fresh coat of paint. Finally, we want to extend a special thank you to all the 150 staff members of the hospital with a personal hamper for each of them. The hamper includes rice, sugar, milk, cooking oil, baking flour, spaghetti, and a drink. This is a small thank you to them and their families for the incredible work they do to serve Uganda,” said Mr Daniel Kayongo, the Brand Manager Plascon Uganda.
Dr Moses Muwanga, the Director of Entebbe Hospital said: “The faith you have shown our hospital is greatly appreciated. On behalf of everyone at Entebbe Grade One Referral Hospital I extend my sincere gratitude towards you for your generous and thoughtful donation. I would like to let you know that we are deeply grateful to Plascon Uganda for helping us improve on the hospital.”
