    COVID 19 Response in Argentina: when light is essential

     

    May 21, 2020

     

    Lighting is crucial in times of crisis. We need functional lighting to keep hospitals, test facilities, distribution centers, supermarkets and highways running, day and night.
     

    Together with Signify Foundation, our Latam Team is committed to providing emergency relief to support the COVID-19 response in Argentina. 

     

    In this spirit, we strengthened our efforts and delivered the ‘Hospital de Campaña Campo de Mayo’ Project in Argentina.

    The emergency hospitals were specially set up by the local government to support the COVID-19 crisis in the event that hospitals collapse. There are seven modular structures with services from surgery to emergency, as well as sterilization areas. The medical facilities offered by these hospitals are extremely helpful during emergency times.

    We mainly support the efforts by providing outdoor lighting, which is their primary need as the hospital is in an open area. As of now, the installation has already started, and we have teamed up with a wire and lamppost supplier so that the hospital will be ready to operate before the arrival of its first patient.
