Coronavirus Outbreak: Volvo Group Supports Healthcare Professionals & Police Personnel

Volvo Group India has joined forces with the Government of Karnataka to control the transmission of this disease. The automaker has handed over medical materials worth Rs. 10 lakhs to the Health Officer at Government Hospital and MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, at Hoskote, for the protection of healthcare professionals and workers – doctors, nurses and hospital staff, along with masks for the patients.

Headquartered in Bengaluru, the company also handed over masks and sanitizers to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) at Hosakote and Nadagudi, to protect the front-line warriors from exposure to this infectious disease.

“While the Government has taken measures to flatten the curve and keep the daily number of cases at a level manageable for health-care systems, it is important that we all come together and help in fighting novel coronavirus. Today, healthcare professionals and police personnel are at a significant risk as they are exposed to large number of patients and potential carriers of the virus. We see them working round-the-clock to keep all of us stay safe. Given this situation as a responsible corporate citizen, we have come forward to donate these medical supplies to them.” says Kamal Bali – President & Managing Director, Volvo Group, India.
