United States-based Medivant Healthcare has donated 5,000 vials of Lidocaine one percent Single Dose Injectables to Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, it was reported on Monday.

The company has taken this step following the devastation caused by Hurricane Laura. Presently, the product is required to sustain US Hospital Emergency Rooms and ICUs.

Founder of Medivant Healthcare, Viraj Gandhi, said, 'Generic Medicine Made in the USA, For the USA', is not just our slogan, it's what we do on a daily basis. Being located in Arizona, we are able to deliver our generics anywhere in the US, within a day or two. When tragedy hits our nation, such as Covid-19, Natural Disasters and other Perils, we don't just sell, we give. Our hearts go out to those who are suffering from the devastation in Lake Charles, due to Hurricane Laura. We hope our donation makes a difference, helping the hospital, their patients and their families in the community.'
