Nana Kwadwo Gyasi, a renowned businessman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of K. Gyasi Company Limited has donated items worth over GHS 70,000 to the Ashanti Regional Health Directorate to be distributed to health facilities across the region.
The items include; seven boxes of surgical nose masks, 180 pieces of Veronica buckets, ten packets of temperature gun, 1000 pieces of hand gloves and three cartons of carbolic soap.
Other items include; two packets of sunlight liquid soap, 30 pieces of flora tissue, three cartons of morning fresh liquid soap and four pieces of Papa Jumbo tissue.
The items which were presented to the Ashanti Regional Minister have been handed over to the Regional Health Directorate to be used by health workers in the region working to contain the spread of Coronavirus.
The donation comes at a time when health workers have been deployed to high-risk areas within the Ashanti Region as part of enhanced contact tracing efforts.
Presenting the items to the Ashanti Regional Minister, CEO of the Nana K. Gyasi Company Limited, Nana Kwadwo Gyasi described the Coronavirus pandemic as a deadly disease and called on Ghanaians to observe the safety precautions.
“I presented the items to the Ashanti Regional Health Director so that health workers in the region could help contain the spread of the Coronavirus. A verse in the Bible stated that those who give are blessed than those who receive. And those who give wholeheartedly are also loved by God. We have stayed home for close to three weeks without going to our various workplaces since we have all been asked to stay home. Let’s all observe the protocols and stay home”, he said.
Nana K. Gyasi reiterated the need for all Ghanaians to continue to observe all the safety measures announced by President Akufo-Addo so as to limit the spread of the pandemic which has so far claimed eight lives in the country.
Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah commended Nana K. Gyasi for the gesture indicating that the fight against the pandemic must not be left to the Government.
He urged Ghanaians to support Government’s efforts aimed at containing the spread of the virus.
