This is an indication of the dedication of our healthcare workers. From the bottom of our hearts,we want to thank our medical health workers for the role they have played. They remain our frontline soldiers without whom fighting this war would be difficult, if not impossible.
We wish to remind those who may be experiencing psychological distress to reach out to Absa, Minet and PLC, on 20204# for counselling and support. They have come up with initiatives to care for our health workers . We appreciate them. Thank you.
Even as our healthworkers dedicate their time to manage our healthcare facilities,their efforts alone will not be enough in flattening the curve. It requires all of us to exercise our individual contributions by observing the various intervention measures continuously announced.
We want to thank our people for observing these measures. The achievements we have registered could not have been possible without their cooperation. We want to thank our Mama Mbogas, boda boda,matatu operators, the youth, taxi drivers, for their contribution to this fight.
