AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> A GROUP of some French Companies established in Tanzania on Wednesday donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) to M\u00e9decins du Monde (MdM) in the fight against coronavirus in the country.<\/p>\n

Headed by France Ambassador to Tanzania, Frederic CLAVIER, and the President of the French Trade Commercial Advisors in Tanzania (CCEF), Mr Christopher\u00a0 Darmois,\u00a0 on behalf of the companies, the envoy said the assistance was part of his April 20th this year, promise to the media that he would mobilize his home based companies operating in Tanzania to join hands and support the government in efforts by offering sanitary products and medical equipment needed to fight against the disease locally.<\/p>\n

While handing over the medical equipment, Ambassador Clavier said: \u201cThis crisis is affecting every part of the society and all of us are trying to do what we can to help.<\/p>\n

It is vital that we support the most vulnerable in our communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuffice it to say that today\u2019s donation represents the French traditional spirit of benevolence. When one simply looks at the Global Fund generous contributors, one will certainly notice that France is the second largest contributor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The companies Engie-PowerCorner, Total, Maurel & Prom, Tanzania Petroleum Services (TPS) and Oryx, handed over an assortment of the sanitary products (hydro-alcoholic solutions), masks and gloves to MdM\u2019s Programme Coordinator, Kessy Ndenengo, in addition to a fuel voucher that was also pledged in the ceremony held in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday, and presided over by Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children Regional Mental Health Coordinator Dr Francis Lukuwi.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the Embassy\u2019s initiative, the President of the French Trade Commercial Advisors in Tanzania, Mr Darmois said: \u201cThere is no big or small effort to combat the novel coronavirus. There is only effort.<\/p>\n

Companies represented through the CCEF of Tanzania are proud to contribute in any way that could help curb the curve of the disease in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Preventing the disease not widely spread, protecting our people from Tanzania and overseas, fighting against the Covid-19 and eventually winning…is what we strive for together.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his part, MdM General Coordinator for Tanzania and Kenya, Ivan Duran expressed his organisation\u2019s appreciation for the generous donation from the French private sectors, noting: \u201cMdM is working together with the Ministry of Health in increasing the capacities of health facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly applaud and appreciate the generosity of the French Companies. This kind of material is essential to protect the Tanzanian health workers that are fighting everyday providing care to the population,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

This donation is made under the aegis of the newly created Franco-Tanzanian Chamber of Commerce, where the French Embassy in collaboration with the former will continue to venture in more areas of supporting Tanzania\u2019s fight against Covid-19.<\/p>\n

In Tanzania, M\u00e9decins du Monde (MdM), a reputed campaigning medical organization committed to international solidarity that has been caring for the most vulnerable populations both in France and abroad, has been operating for more than 25 years, working with local communities and stakeholders striving to create positive health impact in the lives of most vulnerable population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
