A scene during the presentation ceremony
The South West office of the Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN) has presented about 6,000 KN95 nose masks to the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital and the Essikado Hospital for Covid-19 prevention purposes.
Prince Owusu Nyarko, Regional Senior Manager of MTN, who handed the items to Dr. Joseph Tambil, said the company had made several donations during the pandemic.
He said, so far, MTN had supplied 44,000 PPE and a PCR machine to the National Covid-19 Trust Fund.
“We also provided essential equipment to the Noguchi Memorial Institute to promote rapid testing and data processing,” he noted.
Mr. Nyarko added that MTN was providing 88,500 in 30 hospitals across the 16 regions in the country.
He, therefore, encouraged the citizens to strictly abide by all the protocols in curbing the pandemic.
Dr. Joseph Tambil, the Medical Director of the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, promised judicious use of the masks, adding “this action is very thoughtful of you as an organization.”
He urged the company to cement its first-time engagement through continual relationships for the mutual benefits of its clients.
