Oxygen supply is being ramped up and as part of our CSR program, we decided to extend our support as well. We will be installing an oxygen generator plant as well very soon in a taluk hospital as suggested by the administration. We at Wistron would like to sincerely thank and appreciate all the frontline workers who are selflessly working day and night to take care of the affected as well as control the pandemic. We are sure that these oxygen concentrators offer some assistance and relief in these efforts. More initiatives will be launched over the next couple of weeks.”
