PHNOM PENH: The Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Cambodia has sent an official letter of appreciation to Wonderpass Technology for its donation of 400,000 N95 masks and for continuing support for the Royal Government’s efforts to prevent and control the Covid-19 virus.
In a letter signed by Minister of Health Prof. Mam Bunheng, the ministry conveyed its appreciation for the humanitarian contributions Wonderpass has made to the government’s fight against the global pandemic.
“This donation will motivate Cambodian health professionals to strengthen the emergency response capacity of the Royal Government of Cambodia, as well as helping to promote health and safety in communities across the country,” wrote H.E. Mam Bunheng.
The Wonderpass donation of 400,000 N95 masks was personally arranged by Frédéric H. Proulx, the chief executive officer of Wonderpass and the executive director of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia.
“We are happy to help the Royal Government in this challenging time,” Proulx said. “Social responsibility is a priority for Wonderpass, so stepping in to lend a hand to our partners in government is part of the culture of our company”.
We will continue to help as much as we can.
Frédéric H. Proulx, CEO of Wonderpass
