The contribution of 25,000 packs of 75% alcohol wipes will be distributed to hospital and government clinics nationwide to further protect the medical force.
“We introduced our 75% alcohol concentration wipes on the 31st of March and have received tremendous support from our Malaysian consumers so we want to give back by supporting the medical teams fighting COVID-19. We also heard of the PPE shortage and even though we are not in the business of personal protective gear, we would like to ensure that the medical force has personal hygiene protection as well.
We reached out to the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the idea was welcomed warmly. On behalf of the company, we would like to say thank you to the Minister, Director General of MOH, and the tireless staff and of course the daily heroes on the ground, the frontliners. Their efforts are highly appreciated and we hope Alcosm™ wipes will provide an additional layer of protection for them on the job,” shared Alcosm Pte Ltd Co-Founder and Managing Director Tai Zi Kang.
Tai further urged all frontliners and hospital staff to ensure that they disinfect not only their hands but also personal belongings. Items such as handbags, handphones, keyboards, purses, steering wheels and wallets which are often overlooked contain worrying levels of germs so regular disinfection is important.
Alcosm™ wipes have 75% alcohol content which is optimum for cleaning of hands, surfaces and personal belongings. The high absorption material with optimum alcohol level ensures slow evaporation of the liquid to allow more thorough cleaning to get rid of germs, bacteria and viruses.
The company is the first to launch an optimum alcohol concentration wipes in Malaysia and had garnered a high demand from the local market with more than 20,000 packs sold in less than five days since the launch of its website (www.alcosm.com) on 31 March 2020. Offline, Alcosm™ wipes are available at most major convenience stores, pharmacies and supermarkets nationwide.
“As we come together in difficult times like this, we hope our initiative today will help our valuable medical line up to protect themselves further in the line of duty,” shared Tai Zi Kang.
