Tarakan, 14 May 2020 – In the midst of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) is committed to be part of the Indonesian community in order to support various efforts to handle the pandemic. BCA demonstrated its commitment through an aid distribution for various parties, ranging from medical personnel to affected communities.

“The aid package we deliver today is a form of BCA’s determination to help Indonesia recover and rise from the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides Tarakan, we also provided similar assistance to medical teams in a number of regions in Indonesia. We believe that the unified small steps that are carried out consistently can have a major impact on efforts to address and reduce the growth rate of Covid-19 in Indonesia,” said Jedida.
Since last March, BCA continues to gradually distribute aid to various parties in effort to assist the handling of Covid-19 in Indonesia.
