The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) in collaboration with the European Union has donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to Busia County Referral Hospital (BCRH). The multi-sector programme is helping to strengthen existing health responses and increase awareness of prevention strategies and support mechanisms; while also minimising the socio-economic impact of the crisis among the young and vulnerable. The project is also supporting the establishment of a digital online platform for use by the health workers to learn on Covid-19 response and management through procurement and installation of conference equipment. The e-health learning equipment donated to The County Referral Hospital include cameras, microphones, speakers, TV screens and desktop computers. "The PPEs and e-health learning equipment will go a long way in supporting the county's health workers to provide quality services to Covid-19 patients," said Kennedy Mulama, the Project Manager, Aga Khan Hospital Kisumu.
