The donation is intended as a salute of appreciation to the front-line staff fighting the Covid19' pandemic in the country, by putting the public's safety and health above their own while sacrificing precious time with their own loved ones.
The free reload facility gives the staff members at IDH convenient and continued access to a stream of communication with their loved ones without having to leave the hospital premises, especially at a time such as this when breaks from the hospital have become extremely rare for them.
Commenting on this initiative, PayMaster Solutions CEO Mr. Ransika De Silva, "We are extremely appreciative of the hardworking, engaged staff at IDH for their selfless service to the country and public during this difficult time period.
This initiative is our way of thanking them by enabling them to keep in touch with their own loved ones, without having to think of the financial commitment nor the extra time attached to it.
We wanted to gift them with this convenience."
