Ghana has received the second tranche of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and COVID-19 test kits from Asian businessman, Jack Ma, and his Alibaba foundation.

The equipments which touched base at the Kotoka International Airport, earlier today, will be used for the prevention, control, and treatment of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

The donation includes ventilators, swabs and viral transport mediums, extraction kits, face shields, medical disposable protective clothing, medical gloves, and thermometer guns.

Representatives from the Ministry of Health, the Chinese Embassy in Ghana, and the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) were present at the handing over.

Earlier in March, the Alibaba co-founder donated a total of 1.1 million testing kits, six million masks, and sixty thousand protective suits and face shields to all 54 African countries.
