Following MTN’s commitment of N500 million to support the acquisition of critical medical supplies for healthcare professionals on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19, the MTN Foundation has donated medical equipment to facilitate quality healthcare delivery at the Nigerian Police Hospital, Ikoyi.
The donation comprises three patient vital sign monitors, two cardiotocography machines, two radiant warmers and one 1.5HP split unit air conditioner, as part of the Foundation’s outreach focused at providing medical support to the health sector in Nigeria.
Odunayo Sanya, the executive secretary, MTN Foundation said, “We are stronger together, now more than ever. A dose of good every day is all we need to reassure one another that we can survive trying times.
“The Nigerian Police Force Hospital Ikoyi is in our community and we hope that through this support, they have been enabled to offer improved medical services to their clients,” Sanya said.
Receiving the donations on behalf of the Nigerian Police Hospital, ACP Abiodun Sobowale, thanked the Foundation for the kind gesture. “We are grateful to MTN for the donation. The organization has always been an enabler of the Nigerian Police. We appreciate this gesture and will ensure that these equipment are maximized for the patients that trust us with their health.”
The Foundation recently donated 70,000 pieces of essential personal protective equipment, which include 30160 masks, 8000 aprons, 2000 pairs of boots, 11,000 disposable gowns, and 20,000 items of protective clothing to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) as part of interventions under the Yello Hope Package of MTN Nigeria.
