20.05.20, Singtam: Newa Bhay Bowney kuthi, Singtam completed a week-long voluntary service to the District Hospital Singtam as a support to the administration in its fight against Covid-19. NBB volunteers had requested people to sanitize their hands compulsorily while entering the hospital and follow social distance norms during the registration process as per the guidelines of the administration.

The volunteers provided masks, hand wash, hand sanitizer along with counselling to the individuals who did not follow rules and guidelines while entering the hospital.

NBB also provided one month's ration to migrant labours identified by the DMS who needed support at this hour. Dr Tempo Gyaltsen, DMS, DHS appreciated the effort of the NGO for providing volunteers and creating awareness at such a time which eases the pressure off the administration and helps them focus on other important things.
