The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) today donated vehicles to support COVID19 response in Ethiopia. “Combating COVID-19 requires us all – governments, individuals and organizations from across industries and sectors to work together. ECA is pleased, therefore, to provide the EPHI with these vehicles for use in COVID-19 emergency response, as we all pray for the end of the pandemic,” said Mr. Haddad. The donation follows a request by the EPHI, which currently runs a Public Health Emergency Operation Center in collaboration with Ethiopia’s health ministry to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 in the country. Vaccines are not a magic bullet.”Mr. Abayneh said the buses will enhance the Ethiopian Public Health Institute’s ability to plan and execute tasks in a more timely and effective manner.
