China donates mosquito nets to foundation in Ghana

Chinese Ambassador to Ghana Zhang Keyuan on Wednesday donated a large quantity of mosquito nets to the Infant Malaria Prevention Foundation (IMPF), a local nongovernmental organization (NGO) in Ghana's capital of Accra.

The donation was aimed to help prevent malaria in Ghana and to strengthen the bond of friendship between China and Ghana, said the ambassador.

He said China would soon build more malaria prevention and treatment centers in Ghana and supply anti-malaria medicines as well.

The Chairperson of IMPF, Mrs. Akuffo Addo, who received the nets, thanked the embassy for the assistance and called for a closer relationship between her organization and the Chinese embassy, according to the report by the Ghana News Agency.

She promised that the mosquito nets would be distributed to the poor at no cost.
