Ghana continues to make strides in its effort to bring the situation of COVID-19 under control. The global health crisis has undeniably affected the country with restrictions on key activities put in place to contain the spread of the virus. There is now a stronger need for corporates to respond to the crisis and work with Government to help the people of Ghana. This was a strong factor in Samsung’s decision to support the country. Samsung has donated 500 units of Galaxy A2 Cores to the efforts.
The devices will be used by frontline health workers to improve communication as well as to monitor the movement of testing and care resources.
This is an essential part of Samsung’s strategy to support Ghana on its mission to curb the infection rate and flatten the COVID-19 growth curve.
“As COVID-19 continues to make its way across the country, our thoughts are with the people of Ghana. We are dedicating our resources to help and will continue to work with the government. We also believe that all companies should unite to work together with the country’s leaders and corporates now more than ever, our partner, MTN Ghana, will provide free Sim cards with 500mb data every month for 6 months for the devices we are donating “said Eugene Nahm, MD Samsung Electronics West Africa, Ghana Branch.
