LAHORE (PRESS RELEASE)
Stormfiber, one of Pakistan’s leading fiber-to-the-home internet and television service provider, has launched a campaign to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to healthcare professionals across the country. As part of a series of distributions in 10 cities, Akif Luqman, Business Unit Head, Stornfiber handed over a consignment of masks, gloves and other health safety equipment to Provincial Minister of Punjab for Primary and Secondary Healthcare, Yasmin Rashid in Lahore.
Stormfiber’s campaign will cover Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Multan, Islamabad, Peshawar and Mardan with several batches of PPE going to various hospitals, medical facilities and other institutions like isolation centers that are playing a vital role in treating those suffering from the novel Coronavirus.
Stormfiber is Pakistan’s first Internet Service Provider (ISP) that has stepped up to play its role as a responsible stakeholder in society during these difficult times. Doctors, nurses and other health experts around the country are working round the clock to ensure the safety and wellbeing of not just those affected by the pandemic but also the masses in general. The society owes them a great deal and in light of their contributions, Stormfiber has initiated a series of drives covering not just major cities in Pakistan but also far flung areas like Mardan where availability of PPE is quite limited. With several batches of this activity already completed, Stormfiber is committed to continuing their efforts with equal zeal and empathy towards our frontline heroes.
Commenting on the development, Stormfiber Representative, noted the importance of protecting the most high-risk segments of society during this crucial time. “Our healthcare system is working at maximum capacity with doctor, nurses and paramedics prioritizing the safety of patients over their own health and wellbeing. As a part of this society, Stormfiber feels that it our responsibility to display our support and appreciation towards them and this drive is a personification of our belief. We intend to continue supporting various segments not just through our cutting-edge services but also through relief efforts on all levels” he added.
Provincial Minister Yasmin Rashid appreciated organizations like Stormfiber for stepping up and facilitating the government as well as its various functions during this time of crisis.
Stormfiber is among the most widely used and highly trusted data service providers in the nation. With an entirely fiber-based network, the company provides reliable, fast and affordable services to consumers in seven major cities of Pakistan.
