Over 500 deliveries are carried out each month at the hospital. Nuwara Eliya remains an area where the infant mortality rates are relatively high when compared with the rest of the country. Singer, keeping the MDG 5 (Millennium Development Goals – Improve Maternal Health) into consideration, offered to lend a helping hand to the Nuwara Eliya General Hospital. The hospital was in need of the appropriate equipment and facilities to carry out these deliveries safely and with minimum discomfort to expecting mothers. On visiting the hospital, Singer worked closely with the resident doctors in order to identify the ward’s specific needs and obtain the correct specifications for each piece of equipment required. This was done to ensure that the hospital was provided with high quality equipment to suit the purpose.

The company donated 12 modern delivery beds, a pulse Oxymeter, computer equipment & printers, along with trays and trolleys for medical tools. Delivery beds were custom made by a professional medical equipment company for the hospital. Also, Singer constructed a partition in the delivery room to make room for a waiting area for mothers prior to delivery.
