Patients, Parents, Surgeons get Meal Support from NZ Company
Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital got a major boost. New Zealand company, Panamex New Zealand in conjunction with its distribution partners Tappoo Group, is supporting the work of the hospital by donating its products for inpatients.
The products donated were being used as meals for children who were being given free ‘Gift of Life’ Heart surgeries.
The supplies were also used to cater meals for families of all the patients and the large team of surgeons, doctors and nurses who had come to Fiji from USA and Australia to save our nation’s children.
The products donated included Watties Mix Vegetable, Three Cooke Whole Peeled, Watties Garden Peas, Watties Sauce, Watties Baked Bean, and Watties Spaghetti, Watties tomato Purée, Heinz Big Red Sauce, Golden Circle Juice and Fountain Sauces.
Panamex New Zealand’s sales and marketing manager, Stephen Precious, congratulated Sai Prema Foundation for opening the Children’s Hospital.
“I congratulate the foundation for the opening of its landmark project which has altered the medical landscape of the entire region,” he said.
“Panamex New Zealand is proud to be associated with this hospital, which will save many lives of the children of Fiji and the Pacific. It’s time like these that we all need to come together to help support these individuals and families in need.”
Sai Prema Foundation Hospital manager Pratin Lal said the foundation was grateful for the support from Panamex New Zealand.
“We are grateful for the assistance given by Panamex New Zealand to feed the children and their families,” Mr Lal said.
“They have been incredible partners in our national food distribution programme as well.”
