UNFPA Donates PPEs To 33 Health Facilities In Ogun

The United Nations Population Funds (UNFPA) donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to health workers in 33 facilities in Ogun State yesterday to curtail Covid-19.
The equipment include examination and surgical gloves, facemasks, hand sanitisers, hand wash, disinfectants, safety goggles and reproductive health kits.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN), the Implementing Partner of the UNFPA project, coordinated the handing over of the PPEs and life-saving kits to the state government.
PPFN’s Programme Officer in Ogun, Mrs Omotayo Adeyemo, said the gesture was part of UNFPA’s efforts to support the state government in fighting COVID-19.
She said that PPFN would in turn support the state’s Primary Healthcare Board to distribute the items to the implementing health facilities in Abeokuta South, Sagamu and Ado Odo/Ota local government areas.
Some of the lifesaving kits are aimed at increasing access to reproductive health and gender-based violence response services across selected primary healthcare facilities in Ogun,’’ she said.
