This package will include three months of internet bundles and airtime for our healthcare workers and will form part of the comprehensive care package for our workers,” Mwangangi said.

These contributions according to Dr Mwangangi have played a role in the purchasing of thermal scanners thus helping in screen capabilities.
Earlier, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) stood in solidarity with healthcare workers by flying two military choppers with banners bearing a special message to the medics.
