The National COVID-19 Trust Fund says a total of GHS 57 million has so far been received from cooperating organizations, institutions, and individuals across the country from March to November 2020.
Also, about GHS 8 million worth of items in kind, but the trust has spent over GHS 41 million on several relief packages including distribution of PPEs, thermometer guns, coveralls, surgical masks.
Chairperson for the Fund, Madam Sophia Akuffo said the fund is still accepting donations since the fight against the Pandemic COVID is not over yet.
In July 2020, the COVID-19 National Trust Fund on Tuesday distributed personal protective equipment (PPE) and other medical items to seven treatment and health centers in the Western, Central, and Western North regions, to help manage the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Ghana.
Beneficiaries were the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital (ENRH), Tarkwa Government Hospital, Axim Government Hospital, Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Cape Coast Metropolitan Hospital, Dunkwa Government Hospital, and the St John of God Hospital in Sefwi Wiawso.
Each received infrared thermometers, scrub suits, head covers, coveralls, heavy-duty aprons, disposable aprons, assorted gloves, surgical facemasks, and goggles.
Already, similar programs had been held in Tamale and Kumasi, with the last round to be held in Accra today for the Greater Accra, Eastern, Volta, and Oti regions.
