Among the items are hospital beds, pulse oximeters, digital infrared thermometers, gloves, masks, aprons and biological protection overalls,” the company said.
Hydro’s joint-venture aluminium plant Albras also donated a former employee residence, with 36 apartments with individual bathrooms, as well as a laundry and dining room, to be used as a field hospital.
Hydro had already made two donations totalling BRL 10 million for the construction of public field hospitals, totaling 960 beds.
