Cancer patients have reduced immunity, so they belong to the at-risk groups for COVID-19. The masks donated by Luye Medical Group will be distributed to patients receiving assistance from the Singapore Cancer Society, to protect them from exposure to COVID-19 during the journey to and back from their treatment. The Singapore Cancer Society is a Volunteer Welfare Organization (VWO), and some of its beneficiaries are from the lower-income segment of the society. These masks will help to meet their urgent needs.
Luye Medical Group Human Resources Vice President Kathleen He and Singapore CEO Joelle Lee said:“COVID-19 is a global challenge. Luye Medical Group donates these supplies to help cancer patients better protect themselves from COVID-19. We will continue to fulfill our corporate social responsibility and spend the difficult time together with the patients.”
Singapore Cancer Society Deputy Director Kenneth Foo said:“Cancer patients are at a higher risk for infection. The masks help to solve the urgent needs of many patients, and we are sincerely thankful to Luye Medical Group for their thoughtful gesture.”
