Five million face masks, gloves and other protective clothing have been procured by the Solidarity Fund for public healthcare workers and those working within communities. The measure is a rapid response to gaps emerging in the system and will ensure the protection of workers in their efforts to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
Specifically, the key objectives of the fund will be to support the healthcare sector in its efforts to flatten the curve of infections; to provide humanitarian support to vulnerable households and communities who have been affected by the virus, and to mobilise a solidarity campaign that will unite the nation in the effort to see through the pandemic.If this means rapidly procuring masks while the public sector fires up its more cumbersome procurement processes then its a job for the fund.
“We will report regularly on the funds that come in and how they are spent. We will demonstrate radical transparency,” says Serobe.
