Fashion investor\u00a0Mayhoola<\/strong>\u00a0is donating \u20ac1 million to Sacco Hospital in Milan<\/strong> to help combat the COVID-19 epidemic. The company will also be donating an additional \u20ac1 million to Italy's Civil Protection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mayhoola is the the parent company<\/strong> behind luxury brands Balmain<\/strong><\/a>, Valentino<\/strong> and Pal Zileri<\/strong> and is operated by the Qatari Royal family.<\/p>\n

The investment firm said in a release: \u201cMayhoola is determined to support two different projects related to the emergency situation that Italy is currently facing.\"<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThe first part of the donation will focus on improving \u201cthe efficiency and security\u201d of the Intensive Care Treatment Unit (ICU) at Sacco Hospital in Milan.<\/p>\n

Milan has been one of the cities worst hit by the Coronavirus<\/strong> epidemic and the Sacco Hospital has been inundated by infected patients requiring intensive care treatments.<\/p>\n

Mayhoola will spend \u20ac1 million on a negative pressure ventilation installation<\/strong>, which allows medical staff to assist Coronavirus patients in a safer environment. The installation is designed to reduce infections amongst the health care staff and to guarantee safety measures for all those working in intensive care units.<\/p>\n

Mayhoola said in its statement: \u201cWe are very close to the Italian population and we are constantly monitoring the evolution of the pandemic in the country.<\/strong> We are pained to see what is happening in Milan and we strongly hope that this decisive action can help the doctors and their teams of Sacco Hospital.\"<\/p>\n

The investment group has worked with General Manager of Sacco Hospital, Alessandro Visconti and Dr. Emanuele Catena, in charge of the Anesthesia Department and Intensive Care Unit (ICU), to cover all funds across the hospital.<\/p>\n

Visconti and Catena said: \u201cWe really would like to thank Mayhoola, Valentino, Balmain and Pal Zileri for their generosity<\/strong> and for having prioritized the health and safety of those fighting against this ongoing pandemic.\"<\/p>\n

The second step will involve Mayhoola making an additional \u20ac1 million donation to the Protezione Civile Italiana<\/strong>. The Protezione Civile Italiana (or Civil Protection Department) is the main Italian government organisation which leads the prediction, prevention and management of national emergencies.<\/p>\n

Mayhoola added: \u201cOur production plants and offices are widespread across the diverse and beautiful Italian regions: Lazio, Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto, Tuscany and many others. It\u2019s absolutely remarkable how Protezione Civile Italiana is operating within the entire country<\/strong> and the way in which it continuously stands behind the needs of Italian citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n
