"The donation is in line with the Foundation’s commitment to ensure that health workers will be safe during and after the festive season.
"We deemed it important to equip them with PPE and essential medical supplies whilst celebrating them this Christmas season.”
According to him, the donation was made in keeping with the season of giving, to ensure medical staff who continued to work for the safety of the country are well protected.
Receiving the items on behalf of the facility, Deputy Director of Nursing Services at the Accra Regional Hospital, Juliet Amewucommended Vodafone Ghana Foundation for their support in the fight against COVID-19 in Ghana.
