A traditional ruler has called for increased funding for covid-19 district response teams to enable them to discharge their duties effectively.
Nana Okofo Anokye, Sanaahene of the Asokore traditional area in the Sekyere East District, who made the call, said lack of adequate funding to compensate members of district rapid response teams and frontline health workers, was hindering the fight against the containment of the virus in communities.
Speaking at the end of year review meeting of the Sekyere East District Covid-19 Rapid Response Team at Effiduase, he called on the government and other key stakeholders to support the district assemblies to provide the needed financial and other resources to enable the teams to discharge their duties.
