Multichoice Kenya, the proprietor of the DStv and GOTV brands, yesterday gave to the Ministry of Health, 10,000 KN95 PPE masks as well as isolation gowns to aid in the fight against the spread of the Covid pandemic.
The masks worth about Sh2.3million are to be mainly used by frontline health workers who have repeatedly raised concern about the lack of adequate personal protective equipment for them as they attend to Covid patients.
The KN95 masks are a type of filtering facepiece respirator that meets the requirements of the US National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to provide the expected level of protection as long as it is worn and fit properly.
Multichoice CEO Nancy Matimu said the company would continue to support the MoH in the fight against Covid.
"At MultiChoice Kenya, we recognize that co-operation and solidarity is important from each one of us at individual and collective levels alike. We therefore come here today, to commit our solemn support towards the COVID-19 pandemic fight in Kenya,” said Matimu."
