He said a total of five hospitals in the Ashanti region would benefit from the company’s assistance program and bring to 29, the total number of hospitals across the country to receive the company’s support.
The other two facilities in the Ashanti region that are supported by MTN are South Kumasi Hospital and Fomena District Hospital.
Support
Nii Mingle said other institutions across the country should join forces with the government in the fight against COVID-19.
He said these were the first, second and third waves of the disease in many countries, demanding drastic measures be taken to contain it.
The donation, he said, was aimed at building the capacity of recipient hospitals to handle cases of the disease that would come to their attention.
Timely intervention
