Fund Raising Phase 3 is on !

Dear Friends,

We started the "Ranaviru Fund" in May 2008 to support disabled & wounded soldiers by providing Medical & Rehabilitation aid. We have provided 323 Socket Gel Liners for the amputees and 15 talking watches for the blind in two phases since the start of our project.

We have reached Phase 3 of the project now and are aiming to provide the following requirements for the wounded & disabled Soldiers.

Approximate cost of the equipments are as follows.

1. Stationary Defibrillator with built in Cardiac Monitor & Recorder£6,500
2. Portable Defibrillator with ECG£1,950
3. Blood Warmer £1,500
4. Extension tubes for Blood Warmer - 2,000£2,050
5. Socket Gel Liners - 1,000 £10,000
Total Target (approx.)£22,000

**Please note that the prices are provided as an indication only. The actual price we purcahse may vary than what's indicated above

It is required to provide 2 Gel Socks to a patient due to hygiene & practical reasons. These socks need to be washed everyday due to sweating and take up to 2 days to dry. We have provided only 323 Socks to-date through the fund.

Our aim is to provide the above requirements with a high priority for the Army Hospital as saving lives is second to none. We aim to raise enough funds for 1 Stationary Defibrillator, 1 Portable Defibrillator, 1 Blood Warmer and 1,000 Gel Socks during the Phase 3 of the project (by February 2009).

The Fund has made few inquiries in Sri Lanka & outside requesting quotations to supply, install & train staff for a Defibrillator+Monitor+Recorder and a Blood Warmer. Our preference will be given to suppliers in Sri Lanka due to Service & Warranty requirements. However, we would like to keep the options open until we receive all quotations. The cost details of the medical equipment are the best quoations we have received so far.

In providing Gel Socks, we are in a trusted relationship with Silipos UK having them as our supplier for Gel Socks at a special rate. An Ultra Cushion 5 Ply Gel Liner will cost just under £10 each.
