Living Goods

Ministry of Health- Uganda received a medical supply donation, including PPE from Living Goods. Upon receiving the donation, Health Minister Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng acknowledged that only one #HealthWorker has been sickened by COVID-19 in the line of duty since January. https://chimpreports.com/moh-living-goods-move-to-boost-co/

Ways to support #HealthWorkers: 1. Make nat'l investments in safety 2. Improve data on health worker infections 3. Invest in their education ... 4. Keep services available to women & children 5. Don’t neglect their mental health https://frontlinehealthworkers.org//5-lessons-top-global-e

On behalf of the National Taskforce, the Hon. Minister Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero yesterday received additional Covid-19 support from the Living Goods Uganda leadership, led by our country director Christine Namayanja. On behalf of the National Taskforce, I would like to thank Living Goods, a partner that has been working with us in the health sector for a long time to promote community health and to ensure that the communities participate in their health. Living Goods has m...ade a generous contribution during this time of the pandemic. They already gave a contribution, and now again during this second round they are giving another donation for other districts. The donations are PPEs and also facilities for WASH as we can see. This will go a long way in supporting health workers, but also the community people to continue implementing the SOPs. Thank you, Living Goods, and thank you for your commitment to ensure community health, the minister said. See more
