Backup Power Supply for Hospitals

The Need

Frequent blackouts in Sri Lanka have made it very difficult for hospitals to maintain and operate equipment, many of which are sensitive to fluctuations in electricity. They have requested Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Units, which would allow the hospitals to keep equipment operational at all times, and therefore, treat their patients effectively.

The Solution

Hospitals in the North and East have requested units which would allow equipment to stay operational even during power cuts and blackouts (which have been happening frequently in Sri Lanka during fuel shortages).

Please let us know if you, or a friend, or family member are able to consider supporting these needs.
