Insurance group, Hollard Ghana, as part of efforts to join the fight against COVID-19 across the country, has donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the Western Region Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) in addition to an awareness campaign on regional radio and TV.

GPRTU PPE Donation

The presentation was made by the Regional Branch Manager, Mr. Isdor Oheneba in the presence of Mr. Samuel Kojo Essel, Business Development Officer and Mr. Benjamin Ackah, Hollard Life Manager. It was received by Western Region GPRTU Advisor, Mr. George Senkyere at a socially distanced handover held at their office.

Speaking to the company’s motivation to donate the PPE, Mr. Oheneba said, “The GPRTU is a vital player in the transportation industry. We believe equipping them with nose masks and hand sanitisers will ensure that their drivers are protected while providing essential public transportation services. In turn, this will safeguard their passengers and curtail the spread of the COVID-19.”

Receiving the items, the GPRTU Advisor, Mr. Senkyere thanked Hollard Ghana for the kind gesture and promised the PPE will be utilised properly. “We’re grateful to Hollard for thinking about our safety at this time. In addition to the PPEs, we shall continue to enforce the Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 safety directives to wash hands frequently, reduce the number of passengers per bus and insist on mask-wearing.”
