Following an appeal for help, the Ministry of Public Health has assisted the Dharm Shala in replenishing the medication of its residents.
Kella Ramsaroop, the Managing Head of the ‘Home of the Benevolence for all Races,’ yesterday told Stabroek News that an official from the ministry visited yesterday.
As a result, Ramsaroop said the home is now fully stocked with enough medication to cater to its residents, while tests were also conducted on residents who have diabetes.
Ramsaroop had previous explained to Stabroek News that there was a shortage of medication for residents, some of whom have been restricted from leaving the facility due to the novel coronavirus disease precautionary measures.
With regards to the precautionary measures being undertaken, Ramsaroop reiterated that the gate of the home is kept locked, and residents are utilising sanitisers, face masks and gloves.
