LycaHealth, a global healthcare company and part of the Lyca Group, has donated 2350 bottles of hand lotion to Whipps Cross Hospital in Wanstead for use by NHS staff.
Hand lotion has been officially requested by key NHS workers across the country to combat issues caused by the use of alcohol rubs and constant hand washing - providing relief from dryness and hand care at the end of extended shifts.
Although the donation will be utilised largely by staff at Whipps Cross Hospital, a portion will be shared across the Barts NHS Trust hospitals, including in the Tower Hamlets area where the charity is headquartered.
Prema Subaskaran, Chair of Lyca Health said: “Our heroes in the NHS are working tirelessly, putting themselves at great risk to save lives during the coronarvirus pandemic. This is just a small way in which we can thank them and make their lives more comfortable during these challenging times.”
Andrew Whitfield the Assistant Director of Public Health for Whipps Cross and Barts NHS Trust said: “We are extremely grateful to Prema Subaskaran and LycaHealth for this generous gift which will be greatly appreciated by our hardworking staff.”
LycaHealth encourages anyone that would like to support the heroic efforts of the NHS to contact their local NHS trust or charity.
