COVID 19: TrustAfrica and V6 CO Online Medical Supplies Provide Support for Healthcare Workers in Senegal

January 27, 2021

TrustAfrica Foundation and V6 CO Online Medical Supplies have collaborated to provide much-needed relief to healthcare workers in Senegal as part of their contribution to the concerted efforts to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The two organisations are donating thirty thousand high-quality masks which are to be used for the protection of frontline healthcare providers in the fight against the pandemic.

The N95 high-quality masks, worth about seventy million CFA, are already being distributed to hospitals, health facilities and institutions working night and day against the pandemic in support of their efforts and as an expression of commitment to vulnerable communities.

The distribution of the masks, which started on Wednesday, 27 January 2021, represents the second welfare gesture by TrustAfrica Foundation to provide relief in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in Senegal. It will be recalled that an initial sum of six million dollars was released to the Senegalese authorities when the first cases of COVID-19 were announced in the country. The same gesture has also been extended to Zimbabwe and The Gambia.
