The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Wednesday, handed over two Toyota pick-up vehicles, and 39 each of motorcycles and desktop computers valued at $218,157.00 (GH¢1, 130,000) to the Ghana Health Service (GHS).
The donation is aimed at supporting the implementation of the malaria vaccine implementation programme by the GHS.
WHO Country Representative, Dr Owen Laws Kaluwa, at a brief ceremony at the headquarters of the GHS in Accra, said it was gratifying to note that the introduction of the malaria vaccine in Ghana has started very well, with very high acceptance rates in all the six regions involved.
This, he said, was impressive despite the unfortunate negative, false and unfounded rumours circulating in the social media against the vaccine, and commended the good work and commitment of all those involved in the roll-out at national, regional and district levels.
