Dialog Contributes Free WiFi and TV Services to All Quarantine Centres Managed by Tri-Forces

With immense pressure being placed on the country’s medical centres due to COVID-19 outbreak, Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s premier connectivity provider stepped forward to support the emergency services by contributing free WiFi and Dialog Television services to all the quarantine centres that are managed by the Tri-forces.

During this unprecedented time, Dialog has also enabled MOH to create 27 video-based telemedicine units in 20 hospitals, donated essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits to hospitals, provided mobile phone connections and handsets free of charge to the National Child Protection Authority to establish a Remote National Psycho-Social Support Service (RNPSSS), contributed free critical internet connectivity solutions, video conference facilities and mobile devices to IDH, and joined hands with Manusath Derana, Siyatha Lengathukama, and ITN Manushyathwayei Sathkaraya to provide relief to those most in need by distributing packages of dry rations daily, covering over 70,872 people in 265 villages across all 13 districts in the island (including Jaffna).

This donation is one of the many ongoing initiatives being conducted by Dialog to support the national efforts in combating the Coronavirus pandemic in Sri Lanka. Additionally, a variety of accessible e-Connect, e-Learn, e-Health, e-Tainment, e-Care and e-Work solutions (accessible via https://www.dialog.lk/home) have been facilitated to over 15 million of its customers and the public, in its efforts of ensuring that Sri Lankans stay safe, stay home and always stay connected.
