HEINEKEN Vietnam donates 10 ventilators and 24 patient monitors to the Ho Chi Minh City Hospital For Tropical Diseases

Ho Chi Minh City, August 31, 2021 – HEINEKEN Vietnam today donated medical equipment, including 10 Philips Trilogy EV300 ventilators and 24 Philips Efficia CM120 patient monitors, to the Ho Chi Minh City Hospital for Tropical Diseases, the medical facility specialized in treating severe COVID-19 patients.

“We support Vietnam’s monumental efforts to reduce and manage the severe health impacts during the country’s most complicated COVID-19 outbreak to date. While looking into how we can best contribute, we see that having the right medical equipment for the treatment of severe COVID-19 symptoms is crucial. We hope our contribution of 10 ventilators and 24 patient monitors will help save lives and we would like to wish all the frontline medical staff great strength throughout this challenging time,” said Mr. Alexander Koch, Managing Director of HEINEKEN Vietnam.

In addition to the contribution made by the Company, HEINEKEN Vietnam’s employees have been voluntarily supporting those impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak by delivering food and essential goods to underprivileged communities; donating face masks and medical supplies to frontline workers; giving blood to maintain supply; and supporting virtual health consultation platforms connecting self-isolating patients with doctors.

Last year, HEINEKEN Vietnam contributed VND 12 billion and 22,000 masks to assist COVID-19 relief efforts.
