Local Manufacturers Ready to Deliver PPEs in May

The local companies contracted to produce personal protective equipments (PPEs) to help fight the spread of Covid-19 within Ghana, have given assurances that they are on course to deliver the equipment by the mid-May deadline.

The managers of these garment companies said they had adequate and regular supply of materials from the Akosombo Textiles Limited (ATL) and the Ghana Textile Print (GTP) to produce the items.

In the wake of the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country, the government selected four garment companies, including Dignity DTRT, Sleek Garments, Cadling Fashions Limited and Alfie Designs Limited to produce 3.6 million pieces of PPE to fight the pandemic.

The companies are required to produce nose masks, medical scrubs, hospital gowns and headgears, among other things.

This is to ensure that the country has enough supply of PPEs for the frontline health workers as they go about their duties.

Reports from Daily Graphic say, the managers of the companies had beefed up their core workers with extra hands as a measure to meet their daily production targets.

Some of the departments of the companies that had been inactive had been revitalised and were actively contributing to the production process.

In keeping to the social distancing protocols, the managers of the companies rolled out a shift system for the workers.
