The Chief Administrative Secretary for Health, Dr. Rashid Aman received Videoconferencing equipment from Huawei Kenya to foster real time face to face communication and interactions without being constrained by physical distances.
“This is the 3rd donation to the ministry that has improved communication, training and coordination during this COVID-19 pandemic,” said Dr. Aman.
The teleconferencing system which was delivered by Fiona Pan, Deputy CEO, Public Affairs, Huawei Kenya has been useful in facilitating video calls with experts in China to learn from their experience in managing the response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
