The vice Board Chairman, Mr Richard Akumbas also thanked the frontline health workers for their immense and selfless dedication to protect the lives of the people by laying down their life to help fight this deadly disease.

“I want to first of all appreciate the effort you the frontline workers are doing. You put your life on the line to protect us and in fact people come to the hospital and before you know the person is covid-19 positive, he/she might have met the frontline workers already, so we appreciate the risk that you put yourself and your family into”, he said.

Mr Akumbas added that one important lesson covid-19 will teach us after its gone is good personal hygiene in that whenever we come home from where we went we will not forget to wash our hands.

Receiving the items, the Bawku west district health director, Mr. Lawal Alhassan, commended the bank for the kind gesture and assured the bank to use the items for it intended purpose.
