CIBC FirstCaribbean delivers walk funds

The year 2020 was generally a difficult one for many, but fundraising events took a particular hit, especially those that involved large numbers of people. The annual CIBC FirstCaribbean Walk for the Cure event was no exception.
Though the cause remained the same – to create awareness and assist those experiencing issues as a result of breast cancer – the restrictions created by the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the usual 20,000 people from gathering at the bank’s headquarters building in Warrens to walk and run for the cause. It also hindered the many fundraising events that usually take place in the lead up to the event.

As the local financial services sector prepares to consider a possible second moratorium on loans and mortgages for customers dislocated by income losses and jobs due to COVID-19 lockdowns, banks and credit unions are today reporting successes during the first grace period.
The Barbados Bankers’ Association (BBA) and the Barbados Cooperative & Credit Union League (BCCUL) said they were able to meet the requirements of their customers during that first repayment ease.
In March last year when Prime Minister Mia Mottley was concluding debate on the
Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure in Parliament, she announced that commercial banks would be offering a six-month ease on the repayment of loans and mortgages to individuals and businesses whose jobs were in jeopardy as well as businesses affected by the COVID-19 economic downturn.

With its battery operation and instant-on features, the device can be easily transported to the patient and can be powered-on quickly to be able to take an ECG at a moment’s notice.
The machine carries a 7-inch colour touch screen display for fast and easy entry of accurate patient information, and it can store up to 100 test results or they can be transferred to a USB memory stick.
