Dili, 13 September 2021 – Approaching the ninth anniversary of its operations in Timor-Leste, Indonesia International (TL) Telecommunications Company, S.A. (Telkomcel) marked its anniversary celebration by donating one ambulance car to the Ministry of Health of Timor-Leste. The handover, which was done through the TelkomcelCare Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program, was done by Telkomcel Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Yogi Rizkian Bahar to the Timor-Leste Minister of Health, Odete Maria Frietas Belo, at Palacio da Sinzas, Caicoli, Dili, Timor-Leste.
The ambulance has been equipped with emergency equipment in accordance with international standards as specified by Timor-Leste Ministry of Health team, and is expected to help the Timor-Leste Ministry of Health team handle Covid-19 patients and further maximize its activities as Covid-19 pandemic variants have become a global issue.
Telkomcel CEO Yogi Rizkian Bahar said, "Telkomcel as a partner in the development and growth of the country will continuously support the government of Timor-Leste, in this case by supporting the Ministry of Health to accelerate handling of COVID-19 cases, which are currently on the rise in Timor-Leste. We hope that the assistance from all of us at the extended Telkomcel family can help speed up the mobilization of patients to hospitals for faster treatment.
The delivery of this ambulance is the latest in a series of "TelkomcelCare" CSR activities which have been consistently held since the first phase began in February 2021 with the provision of a ventilator machine to help COVID-19 patients breathe. In June 2021, Telkomcel provided assistance in the form of a GeNose-19 machine, which functions to detect corona virus infections in exhalations. Now, in the context of celebrating Telkomcel's 9th anniversary, Telkomcel and all of its staff are providing further assistance in the form of an ambulance to help the Ministry speed up Covid-19 patient handling.
In addition to the "TelkomcelCare" CSR series program, Telkomcel is also holding promotions to celebrate Telkomcel's ninth anniversary for the people of Timor-Leste. Happy #9th Anniversary Telkomcel.
