Samsung has donated 500 units of Galaxy A2 Cores to government to enable it to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
The devices will be used by frontline health workers to improve communication as well as to monitor the movement of testing and care resources.

“As Covid-19 continues to make its way across the country, our thoughts are with the people of Ghana. We are dedicating our resources to help and will continue to work with the government.
"We also believe that all companies should unite to work together with the country’s leaders and corporates now more than ever, our partner, MTN Ghana, will provide free Sim cards with 500mb data every month for 6 months for the devices we are donating," said Eugene Nahm, MD Samsung Electronics West Africa, Ghana Branch.
Samsung believes in strong collaborations between the Government and the private sector and is committed to playing a sustained role in the fight against Covid-19.
Receiving the devices on behalf of the Government of Ghana, Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah commended Samsung and MTN for the support.
The Minister gave the assurance that the devices will be used for its intended purpose.
