The chairman of the Santa Maria board of directors has confirmed the donation saying: “We were contacted by Jorge Mendes, who volunteered with Cristiano Ronaldo to finance two intensive care units for critical patients suffering from Covid-19.

‘There are fans, monitors, infusion pumps, beds … all the equipment that constitutes an intensive care unit equipped to provide care to a Covid-19 patient.’

Mr Mendes also provided 1,000 masks and 200,000 protective gowns to the Sao Joao hospital in Porto last week and has also ordered eight further ventilators that will be distributed to hospitals across the country.
