Manipal Foundation donates portable battery powered refrigeration devices to Karnataka govt

The Hindu  

The Manipal Foundation has donated 23 new portable battery operated refrigeration devices, which will help the Health Department of Karnataka maintain necessary cooling when vaccines are transported from primary health centres to distant sub health centres. The new devices would replace the ice-based vaccine carriers – the rectangular white boxes – in which vaccines, packed with ice packets, are now being carried. To prevent this wastage, the department proposed to the government of Karnataka to purchase 400 new portable refrigerator devices, which maintains cooling between 2 and 8 degree Celsius required for vaccines. Every month, a report will be sent on the usage of the new devices to the State headquarters, Dr. Thimmaiah said.
