Producers of food and household chemicals, Euro Prima Industries, have presented items worth ¢500,000 to hospitals within the Ayawaso West Wuogon Municipality to help fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
The municipality has been identified as one of the hotspots for the pandemic.
Head of Finance of the company, Frank Peprah, told journalists at a short ceremony in Accra that it is worrying to note that the attention given to the pandemic seems to have waned recently.
"The covid-19 pandemic is still with us but it looks like the seriousness that we attach to it has waned. This is our home turf and if anything happens here we would be affected. That is why we are making this donation,” he said at the ceremony held at the premises of the Ayawaso Municipal Assembly office in Accra.
Receiving the items, Municipal Health Director, Dr Louisa Martey, said health workers in the area would benefit immensely from the items and help them better deal with the virus. She asked for more from other organisations in the area.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has undermined resources for everyone. One of the things to do in the covid-19 fight is hand washing and the items you have presented to us would be very useful for that,” she said.
The items presented include 100 cartons of Santex Hand Sanitizer 50ML, a hundred and 50 cartons of So Klin washing powder and 200 cartons of 250 ML Santex Handwash among others.
