In connection with expatriates living there, the Sri Lankan Embassy in Japan donated over US $ 225,000 worth Covid-19 related emergency equipment to 14 government hospitals, a statement said.
Many philanthropists came forward due to a special program introduced by Ambassador Sanjiv Gunasekara
The statement said this model allowed donors to choose their preferred medical equipment directly from authorized Sri Lankan suppliers and donate to a hospital of their choice.
Four of the active Sri Lankan Associations in Japan- the Sri Lanka Business Council of Japan, Sri Lanka Automobile Association in Japan, Kansai Japan Sri Lanka National Organisation and the Sri Lanka Professional Association – mobilized their members and helped in this worthy cause.
