PANTAI Jerudong Specialist Centre (PJSC) organised a donation drive yesterday for 15 underprivileged families and their previous patients.
Four senior management members including 89 staff members of PJSC, who volunteered in the drive, were split into teams to cover Brunei-Muara, Tutong and Belait districts.
Leading the teams were Executive Director of PJSC Dr Mazrul bin Haji Besar, Medical Director of PJSC Dato Seri Laila Jasa Dr Babu Sukumaran, Hospital Administrator of PJSC Vivian Tie and Chief Operating Officer of PJSC Varghese Paulose.
The team began the journey at PJSC.
They packed the donations and supplies contributed by the staff and companies affiliated to the centre before heading out in a convoy to the houses of all families.
The list came from previous patients of PJSC and their family members who needed the extra help, in line with PJSC’s slogan, ‘We Care’.
Items donated included diapers, milk, rice, oats and food items.
Cash donations were also presented to the head of family.
Dr Mazrul said the drive was part of the centre’s corporate social responsibility and will be a permanent activity during the month of Ramadhan.
“It is hoped that these donations will help the families,” he added.
He thanked all who volunteered and donated to make the charity drive a success.
