Al Ahly Sabbour, the leading real estate developer, joined forces with the Tahya Masr Fund to supply COVID-19 patients with ventilators and a total of 75,000 test kits to help identify cases, Invest-Gate reports.
This came as an attempt by Al Ahly Sabbour to support the efforts exerted by the government and local communities to curb the spread of COVID-19 and provide assistance to physicians by delivering supplies to the seven hospitals built to treat COVID-19 patients throughout Egypt, according to a company statement.
Moreover, the company is also securing 250 tonnes of basic daily supplies of food and necessary items through an initiative to support 30,000 Egyptian low-income families and hiring daily employees who were severely affected by the outbreak. Starting with Cairo and Giza, the initiative aims to ensure that families stay at home to reduce the chances of contracting the virus.
“The initiative comes in line with the company’s commitment to its social responsibility towards Egyptian communities, as well as our firm belief in the significant role played by private-sector companies and the business community in times of crisis to contribute to developing our community,” Ahmed Sabbour, CEO of Al Ahly Sabbour said. “We had to adopt a positive attitude in dealing with the situation we’re currently facing and be proactive as we work to eliminate and curb the spread of COVID-19 in Egypt,” he added.
“This situation requires serious, collaborative efforts and an urgent sense of unity between all sides to overcome this phase, which is why as Al Ahly Sabbour, we are employing all of our strengths to help the government in its efforts to support citizens to ensure we get back on our feet sooner than expected,” the CEO of Al Ahly Sabbour elaborated.
Since the beginning of the global outbreak of COVID-19, the Egyptian government has been exerting significant efforts to contain its spread by employing high safety measures while maintaining access to day-to-day needs.
As for Al Ahly Sabbour, the company has taken all necessary precautions to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and maintain the well-being of its employees, the people present on their premises, and workers across construction sites. The company is abiding by all the regulations issued by both the Egyptian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization including reducing the number of employees within the administrative building, as well as providing engineers, technicians, and security personnel with masks and gloves. Moreover, the company carried out a comprehensive sterilization process throughout its offices and construction sites, appointed several doctors within its facilities to follow-up on the status of employees’ health, and distributed info-graphs to raise awareness and reveal instructions in order to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
Al Ahly Sabbour is working hard to balance the well-being of all employees and to continue working since the real estate sector mobilizes several industries along with it.
