As part of the Rs 1 billion Hussain Dawood pledge, Engro Fertilizers (a subsidiary of Engro Corporation) has committed to provide Rs 95 million in financial assistance to The Indus Hospital to expand COVID-19 testing capacity across Sindh and strengthen the health sector to cope with the ongoing pandemic.

Under the "Sindh Screening Program - Free of Cost" campaign, Engro Fertilizers will sponsor The Indus Hospital Network to launch testing interventions across rural Sindh. To ensure maximum coverage of the rural population, the testing campaign will be deployed in Larkana, Nawabshah, Jamshoro, Sukkur, Tharparkar and Badin, which have seen a gradual increase in the number of cases over the past weeks.

According to Ghias Khan President & CEO of Engro Corporation, "This partnership is geared to meet the priority of improving COVID-19 testing rates in Pakistan, based on the principle of inclusion and healthcare access for all."-PR
