Government has begun the local production of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) as a means to intensify measures aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 in Ghana.
Items produced include Face Mask, Medical Scrubs, Hospital Gowns and Head Gears for the frontline health workers.
They are using fabrics from ATL, Volta Star Textiles and GTP.
President Nana Akufo-Addo in an earlier address said this new initiative has become necessary because of the shortage of the already procured PPEs which are essential for the protection of frontline health workers risking their lives every day to battle the virus.

It is a better approach to manufacture the PPE's by ourselves to avoid contamination of the imported ones to infect the citizenry with virus. I personally don't trust the Chinese especially. It is even a job creation for our unemployed youth.
I am happy the local manufacturing of the PPE's has begun earnestly. It was a source of worry to me for this Health Working Apparels to be procured from high prone Covid 19 pandemic countries. Because African nations have to be safety conscious to avoid exploitation from the whites. Kudos
Great news!!!đź‘ŤWe shall surely overcome.
Excellent move. We encourage them to help save lives.
