VíasChile, an Abertis company, promotes a grant program to support communities and neighbors which have been affected during the health emergency close to its toll roads in Chile.
With the help of municipalities, the company has identified the most urgent needs of each “comuna” (region) and have worked together to materialize a concrete contribution that has permanence in time and solves a relevant need for the community.
In the first phase of this initiative, 40 electric heaters have been delivered to the Hospital de Emergencia in the Comuna of Colina, as well as new ambulances, equipped with essential medical instruments to care for and transport patients from the Comuna of Renca and the Municipalities of Santiago and San Bernardo.
Medical equipment for the Hospital de Casablanca and food boxes for families in the comunas of Talagante, Malloco and Panquehue have also been delivered.
With this action, which has been possible thanks to the collaborative work between the different areas of the company, VíasChile reinforces its commitment to collaborate with nearby communities.
