The donation was made in presence of the Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, President & CEO Engro Corporation Ghias Khan and CEO EEL Ahsan Zafar Syed.

Speaking at the occasion, Ghias Khan said, “These are unprecedented times. For most of us, COVID-19 is the first global crisis and most serious health threat in our lifetime. It is important at this juncture to unite as a nation to tackle this disease. I commend the government of Sindh on making tireless efforts in protecting people and supporting the underprivileged in our society.”
Ahsan Zafar Syed highlighted the role of the government of Sindh and said, “Engro Energy appreciates the efforts of government of Sindh and the associated organizations which are working relentlessly to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.”
He said he is confident that through this donation “we would be able to build and supplement the work being done by the provincial government and associated entities.”
Engro and its Chairman Hussain Dawood and Dawood Hercules Group are also working tirelessly on COVID-19 relief efforts in areas including disease prevention, with a major focus on testing and diagnostics; protecting and enabling healthcare practitioners and other key workers, who are at the frontline of the fight against this pandemic; enabling patient care and facilities; and bolster livelihoods and sustenance of the most deserving in society.
