Caltex provides medical care for three-wheeler drivers

Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC recently conducted a health camp for members of the All Island Three Wheeler Drivers' Union.

It was conducted in partnership with the All-Island Three Wheeler Drivers' Union where hundreds of three wheeler and budget taxi drivers were given free medical care which included a Random Blood Sugar (RBS) test, a Blood Pressure (BP) check, an eye test and a Doctor's consultation for other ailments. Chevron also donated the medicines and resources for the health camp.

"We decided to embark on the first health camp this year specially for three-wheeler and budget taxi drivers. No doubt this community does an enormous social service to the country and we wanted to be at the forefront of supporting the social development of this industry," said Managing Director and CEO of Chevron Lubricants, Kishu Gomes.

"For Chevron, Corporate Social Responsibility has long been part of the organisation's values and the way it operates.

As a socially responsible organisation, Chevron is committed to contributing to social and economic development through its numerous projects in the community; which includes the recent road safety awareness campaign to reduce road accident deaths in the country.

Chevron has also been associated with numerous social responsibility projects within the Deaf and Blind community of Sri Lanka for many years," a spokesman for the company said.
