The devices will be used by case managers for data capturing and case reporting in the isolation centres across 36 states including the Federal Capital Territory (F.C.T).
The Managing Director, Samsung Nigeria, Mr Caden Yu said,
“This is an essential part of Samsung’s strategy to support Nigeria on its mission to curb the infection rate and flatten the COVID-19 growth curve. Our thoughts are with every Nigerian and this donation is a way of using our resources to fight this pandemic.”
The items were presented to the government through the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire by Adetunji Taiwo, the head of Mobile Samsung West Africa when he led a delegation on a visit to the minister in his office yesterday.
Ehanire said daily, “he sat with his team to receive situation reports from states, local governments, treatment centres to see how to review treatments of COVID-19 patients, explaining that part of the challenges they face in doing so, “is the challenge of communication, data reporting, etc,” according to the statement.
He, therefore, revealed that the donation by Samsung and MTN of the sets, SIM Cards and data “comes in useful.”
He expressed appreciation and desired this appreciation to be sent to the headship of Samsung and MTN wherever they are that “Nigeria is very grateful” pledging that “we shall make the best use” of the items and integrating them into whatever that we have to improve service delivery.
