fter more than a year grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia has entered a time of crisis where oxygen availability falls well below demand from both the public and hospitals.
Currently, Indonesia possesses 63 oxygen generators spread across the country, with 60 percent of the provinces not having one on hand at all.
As part of its support and commitment in fulfilling the needs of Indonesians, leading food and seasoning company PT. Sasa Inti along with Rodamas Group, the Indonesian Military (TNI), Pelayaran Meratus and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) to donate 17 oxygen generators through its #JanjiSasaUntukIndonesia (Sasa’s promise to Indonesia) corporate social responsibility (CSR) program that can be used to treat patients well after the pandemic is over.
“For 53 years, PT. Sasa Inti has always accompanied the people through our food seasoning products. In light of these challenging times, PT. Sasa Inti is striving to help the people and reduce their burden in dealing with the pandemic. We hope that PT. Sasa Inti’s collaboration, as part of the Rodamas Group, with KADIN and Pelayaran Meratus can support the oxygen crisis-management in Indonesia, and that Indonesia can be free of the pandemic,” the company said in a statement.
On Aug. 20, PT. Sasa Inti handed over two oxygen generators to Husada Hospital and Cilangkap Indonesian Military headquarters in Jakarta, followed by another unit to Immanuel Hospital in Bandung, West Java, on Aug. 21. An additional 14 units will be distributed across the country, including Bandung, Wonogiri, Probolinggo, Bali, Belitung, Palangkaraya, South Minahasa, Ambon, Wamena and several other cities.
Previously, Sasa also conducted a series of CSR activities in three main pillars: education, health care and socioeconomic development. The company routinely donates food cooked by the Sasa Executive Chef Team using Sasa products fortified with vitamins and Omega 3 to healthcare workers and vulnerable communities to better maintain their immunity during the pandemic. Sasa has also provided free vaccinations in its fight against the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia.
In its support for national education, Sasa runs a scholarship program for employees and the general public, along with building a school in South Minahasa earlier this year to provide equal access to education as part of the company’s commitment to accelerating the quality of life for Indonesians.
