General News of Thursday, 2 April 2020Source: GNARotary donates PPEs to frontline health workersFile photoThe COVID-19 Rotarian Response Team in Ghana has donated Personal Protective Equipments (PPEs) worth GHC 115,000 to the Ghana Association of Doctors in Residency, to protect frontline healthcare workers against the infection of the COVID-19. The donation was made possible through contributions from Rotarians to complement government’s efforts in ensuring that healthcare workers are well protected to help combat the disease. Dr Nii Akwei Addo, the Co-chair of the COVID-19 Rotarians Response Team in Ghana, presenting the items, said the gesture was upon a request made by the Ghana Association of Doctors in Residency. “This is important because if doctors continue to be exposed it would get to a time that there would not be enough health workers to attend to the sick,” she said. Ghana has so far confirmed 195 cases of the virus with death toll at five and total recoveries remain three.
