IOM to produce sanitisers with district admin in Cox’s Bazar

International Organization for Migration (IOM) along with the collaboration of two local non-government organisations of the district administration will produce 100,000 bottles of 200 ml hand sanitizers in Cox’s Bazar.

The IOM decided to produce hand sanitser locally in accordance with World Health Organization guidelines while the district administration acquired all necessary permits and permission from the narcotics controls department to procure and transport raw material required to produce 20,000 litres of hand sanitiser, said a press release on Sunday.

IOM, with local partners Prottyashi and Green Hope, will produce the hand sanitisers to equip at least 50,000 local government’s law enforcement and other community personnel who are delivering essential services to the public.

Host Community members were recruited by IOM and partners to support production and will be trained and supervised by professional pharmacists while Quality control, testing and training will be monitored by the IOM Health Unit.

The production of hand sanitiser will help these host community members meet some of their household income needs as many of them have lost their traditional livelihoods due to the COVID-19 lock-down, said the release.
