The Ministry of Health has established a Donation Desk to support philanthropists and corporate entities wishing to donate medical equipment and materials from outside Ghana.
Mr Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Minister of Health, announced this to the Parliamentary press corps in Accra on Tuesday, explaining that the initiative would enable the Ministry to pursue tax waivers on such equipment or materials for the collective benefit of the Ghanaian people.
He encouraged interested individuals and organisations to contact the Donation Desk via the hotline: 0204611611 for assistance.
Earlier, the Health Minister briefed Parliament on the COVID-19 outbreak at the University of Ghana campus and assured Ghanaians that there was no cause for panic, as a robust surveillance system was in place to contain the outbreak.
