We successfully completed another handover of urgent cancer medicine today with donations through Raise Sri Lanka fundraising. Medicine worth 2.54mn LKR was donated to the Cancer Unit, Teaching Hospital Kokgala as a part of the initiative to provide urgent medical relief to Sri Lanka.

As per the doctors, the medicines donated (Inj. Filgrastim 200mg/0.5ml and IHuman Albumin (low salt) CSL Behring 20% 50ml) will be used to improve the patient care services and would be a great help for patients with cancer. And unfortunately, due to shortage, the medicine has been unavailable and the cancer patients have been waiting for relief for days now.. 🙁 We managed to quickly take action and supply part of the required medicine as soon as we can thanks to all your donations through different channels! Thank you! ❤

The donation was acknowledged by Dr. M.H.K. Kumara in the presence of the suppliers and Raise Sri Lanka committee member Sagara Rathnayake. Internally, volunteer Chushani Samarathunga Welagedara coordinated the efforts to ensure that the request was fulfilled urgently. We have attached proof of handover including the invoice and the letter of acknowledgment and photos for your reference.

These donations are made possible due to the generous contributions of donors around the world whose kind gesture is much appreciated by the Raise Sri Lanka charity team. We have received some more requests for urgent medicines from government hospitals around the country.
