According to a statement, the machines cost RM180,000 each and went to Hospital Kota Belud and Hospital Kuala Penyu through the Sabah State Health Department.
It was part of SSPC’s on-going “Care for Community” programme in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in the State.
With this donation, SSPC aimed to lessen the burden of healthcare frontliners who were managing a high number of patients on a daily basis, as these machines enable patients to remain at their beds while having their x-rays taken and contribute towards the process taking place in a faster and more seamless manner.
Since last year Shell Malaysia has spent approximately RM8.6 million (USD2 million) in support of the nation frontliners and the communities, for covid-19 related initiatives.
