Accra, 1 April 2020 – In support of the government’s efforts to stem the spread of coronavirus, telecom operator AirtelTigo has donated 200 pieces of veronica buckets to the Ministry of Health for distribution to the public hospitals across the country.

Presenting the items, the Chief Information Officer at AirtelTigo, Prince Sarpong commended the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, frontline medical staff and other stakeholders on the initiatives made to stop the spread of the virus and save precious lives.

“We hope that this donation will also help reinforce the message that the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service has been stressing on the importance of washing hands under running water,” he said.

He also remarked that through the Telecom Chamber, the company is broadcasting messages by the Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service to educate customers and the general public via SMS and social media platforms, and also routing all calls to the COVID-19 emergency numbers at no cost to the public.
