The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) has today handed over a shipment of Personal Protective Equipment and other medical equipment worth Kshs16 Million to the Ministry of Health. The donations include 230 Mackintosh covered hospital mattresses, hand sanitizers and over 1,716 N95 Masks. Other contributions include 10 cartons glove and 50 litres of sanitizer, greenline masks, face shield, and 3PLY surgical masks. 

The donations will remain a valuable tool beyond the immediate need and will be used long after the pandemic in improving the long-term capacity of our healthcare system.

 KEPSA through KHF and its partners including BobMill, L’Oreal East Africa, Covestro, and Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK), has presented an array of donations to the Ministry of Health. This is In response to the call from the Government of Kenya to mobilize resources to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

In March, KEPSA launched “Flowers of Hope” campaign under its economic framework for COVID-19 response. “Through the campaign that has ensured that farmworkers do not lose their jobs. KEPSA has also distributed flowers to hospitals in Kenya and Europe. Including 300 bouquets to nurses to mark the International Day of the Nurse,” KEPSA CEO Carole Karuga said.

Dr. Amit Thakker, the KHF chairman, said: “The donations will be distributed to both public and private healthcare facilities. That are at the frontline of the fight against the pandemic and that will depend on how much they need.”
