Rhino Roofing Products Ltd., recently donated air mattresses to the National Hospital in Colombo. These air mattresses for the orthopaedic section of the hospital would greatly benefit the many security personnel and other patients suffering from long-term orthopaedic ailments.

Due to the shortage of air mattresses earlier, many patients suffered from bedsores. However, this can now be prevented by letting them sleep on these mattresses. Rhino Roofing will thus help alleviate the unnecessary suffering of patients and reduce the expenditure incurred by the hospital in treating bedsores.

The Managing Director of Rhino Roofing, Jayaseelan Gnanam took immediate action to supply the air mattresses after the Director of the National Hospital Dr. Hector Weerasinghe and the orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Pinto informed him about this requirement through the former Deputy High Commissioner to Australia, Michael De Silva, who maintains a good relationship with Rhino Roofing and Gnanam.

During the presentation, Gnanam said that as a socially responsible organization, it is their duty to understand and resolve problems in the best manner possible. He pointed out that Rhino has lent a helping hand even on previous occasions such as national disasters. The company is currently involved in a project to complete the operation theatre complex of the National Cancer Hospital at a total cost of over Rs. 25 million.
