This was after Mahamudu Bawumia visited a number of local companies including days back,

in Accra who are manufacturing the PPEs.

Dr Bawumia was overwhelmed by the level of commitment and speed with which they are producing the PPEs.

He commended the local companies.

In the last five days, the local companies contracted by the ministries of Health and Trade to manufacture PPEs have produced 250,000 face masks,

18,000 surgical gowns and 11,000 medical/hospital scrubs for distribution to frontline workers in the fight against the virus including health and security personnel across the country.

Alan Kyerematen, Trade Minister said the government is creating the opportunity for local companies

to manufacture for the Ministry of Health.

AS QUOTED;

“The quality of the product is very high because the fabric used are local fabric and specially produced by Volta Star Limited
through a process called mesmerisation by both Akosombo Textile Limited and GTP”,
He added that
“very soon Ghana would be exporting PPEs to some African countries and the developed world.”
He insisted
“we need to understand that this pandemic is going to create a major disruption in global supply chain” and that “you can no longer just focus on bringing in every conceivable item from outside the country.”
