NBO supports healthcare workers with RO1 million relief initiative

Reiterating its support for Oman's frontline health workers and their efforts to keep communities safe during the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, National Bank of Oman (NBO) announced the distribution of its RO 1 million relief initiative.. A portion of the donation has already been transferred to the Ministry of Health's Endowment Fund.. The remaining funds will be used to purchase critical and life-saving equipment and supplies for Royal Hospital, Al Nahdha Hospital, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, and the Royal Oman Police Hospital, which treat the majority of COVID-19 cases.. "We are grateful to our healthcare workers and all of those on the frontlines who are working day in, day out, to keep us all safe and we will continue to lend our support whenever and wherever needed," he added.. As the pandemic continues to escalate, sufficient equipment is even more crucial for both the treatment of patients and the protection of healthcare workers.. Joining a nationwide call to action, the bank's donation will assist with the provision of protective gear and medical equipment as healthcare services work to treat the virus and control its spread..
