I’d like to encourage all media representatives across Africa and Latin America to apply for the “MASK UP WITH CARE” Media Recognition Awards. This media recognition award will encourage media to sensitize our communities.
Raising awareness about coronavirus in our communities will contribute to supporting health workers who are at the forefront of COVID-19 response – providing high quality, respectful treatment, and care, it will also enhance their great efforts in leading community dialogue to address fears and questions. Our hearts and thoughts are with them.
I look forward to valuable inputs from all media representatives.
Kind regards,
Senator Dr. Rasha Kelej
CEO of Merck Foundation
Most Influential African (2019 & 2020)
