Project Management Institute supports Ga East Municipal Hospital and DOVVSU with PPE

As part of efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease in Ghana, Project Management Institute (PMI), has donated assorted items valued at 35,000 cedis to the Ga East Municipal Hospital, Kwabenya, and the national headquarters of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service.

President of the Ghana Chapter of PMI, Jumoke Lafenwa, said the gesture is to complement government’s efforts to stop the spread of the virus in the country through the adequate provision of medical supplies as well as Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) for frontline professionals.

She said the items, which include disposable gowns, face masks, tissues, head covers, non-contact thermometers and advanced Veronica Buckets, will assist authorities to manage the number of recorded cases in the country while lowering the risk of new infections.

Dr. Ebenezer Oduro Mensah, a member of the COVID-19 Management Team at Ga East Municipal Hospital, lauded PMI for the gesture, and called on the public to abide by all health practices measures approved by the Public Health Division of the Ghana Health Service including social distancing and regular hand washing under running water.

Dr. Oduro Mensah also cautioned Ghanaians not to think that the disease does not exist simply because they’re not seeing physically sick people.

He said the Ga East Municipal Hospital, which is one of the country’s COVID-19 Treatment Centres, has recorded 8 full recoveries out of 182 patients since March 21, when the first person diagnosed with the virus was admitted.
