Foam manufacturer, Latex Foam, has donated 1,000 pieces of medical mattresses to the Ministry of Health to support the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.
The gesture, according to the Latex Foam General Manager, Salim Nahlous, is in response to the national call to individuals and corporate entities to support the government’s fight against the global health crisis, which has put a lot of strain on the country’s medical facilities because of its spread across the country.
Presenting the items on behalf of the company, Mr Nahlous said the 1,000 mattresses covered the current need of the Health Ministry for more beds to respond to the virus.
He further noted that Latex Foam was always ready to give extra assistance because of the implications of the pandemic on the country’s healthcare system and society at large.
Receiving the items, the Health Minister, Kwaku Agyemang Manu, was grateful to Latex Foam for their immense support and said the mattresses were very essential in the healthcare delivery in view of the critical nature of the management of Covid-19 which has become a shared responsibly of all.
Latex Foam, recently granted Superbrand status for the second time in seven years, has been associated with good corporate social responsibility in many areas of national development, such as donation to support the annual National Farmers’ Day celebration, support for needy and brilliant students of the University of Ghana, among others.
