OBONGI, UGANDA: WN-CARD has donated essential infection prevention and control supplies to Obongi District to support the District Ebola Task Force response plan.
The items were handed over on recently in the presence of Komakech Robert Obina, the Assistant Resident District Commissioner(ARDC), who represented Mr. Samuel Mpimbaza Hashaka, the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) and Chairperson of the District Ebola Task Force.
The donation included hand sanitizers, Jik, hand-washing facilities, gum boots and liquid soap. District officials say the supplies will strengthen hygiene and infection prevention measures across health facilities and communities.
