Commenting on the Wistron WeCare CSR initiative’s oxygen generator plant launch, Hank Hsu, Vice President – Wistron India, said, “Wistron continues to be committed to improving healthcare infrastructure in the community where we operate. As part of this commitment, we had embarked on this CSR programme to extend support and relief through emergency equipment, health kits, safety materials, and food rations, as per need, to government agencies, frontline workers, the poor and the marginalised. Availability of uninterrupted oxygen supply at hospitals play a vital role and we are pleased to provide this facility at Malur Government Hospital. Wistron will continue to fight the pandemic along with the local community and extend all support as required.”
Nagaraj M, Managing Director, Wistron Infocomm Manufacturing India, said, “During the second wave, it was noticed that some hospitals had a severe shortage of oxygen supply which also resulted in the loss of lives. In close consultation with the district administration, we decided to install this high-capacity oxygen generator plant at Malur GH. We sincerely hope that this facility helps with the much-needed oxygen supply and aids the hospital to take care of the critical needs more comfortably including a possible third wave if it comes. All of us at Wistron would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation once again to all the frontline warriors especially the healthcare workers and the police.”
