People’s Bank donates to sponsor 1990 ‘Suwa Seriya’ Ambulance service

People’s Bank, one of Sri Lanka’s Premier Licensed Commercial Bank, announced that it has donated to sponsor a 1990 Suwa Seriya Ambulance under ‘Adopt an Ambulance’ initiative by the 1990 Suwaseriya Foundation.

Suwa Seriya was launched in 2016, to provide free emergency medical assistance by way of an ambulance service across the island. Under People’s Bank’s ‘Mahajana Mehevara’ CSR programme, this sponsorship was made as a part of the bank’s continued commitment to the betterment of the Sri Lankan community and its dedication to supporting the country’s healthcare system.

People’s Bank Chairman Sujeewa Rajapakse said; “People’s Bank’s sponsorship of this ambulance is a significant step in its efforts to support the Sri Lankan community in multiple ways. As a nation minded business organization, we understand the importance of having access to free emergency medical services promptly. This will help ensure that each Sri Lankans will receive quality healthcare services when he/she needs it the most, regardless of his/her financial capability.’

People’s Bank CEO/GM Clive Fonseka stated; “Our commitment to the well-being of the Sri Lankan people goes beyond banking and through our ‘Mahajana Mehevara’ CSR programme, we aim to make a lasting impact on the communities we serve. The sponsorship of this Suwa Seriya Ambulance is a testament to our dedication to supporting critical services like healthcare.’

The 1990 Suwa Seriya Foundation introduced the ‘Adopt an Ambulance’ initiative to secure corporate sector funding to sustain the services it offers, as the government’s assistance for Suwa Seriya was impeded due to financial constraints brought on by the economic crisis in the country.
