Mr Avenorgbo assured that Melcom would continue to extend its support and assistant to the less-privileged communities.

“I can assure you that,   Melcom as a good corporate citizen, will continue to deliver services which will meet the needs of the discerning Ghanaians and all other residents,” he added.

“We have therefore, started operating community-based quick shopping access points designated as Melcom Mini, the first of which has opened at Evita building at East Legion, Accra. There will be another store at Adjiringanor, Accra soon.

“Also coming upstream is the World’s Best Pizza at Pizza Hut close to you under the management of a Melcom Group Subsidiary,” he stated.

Mr Avenorgbo commended health practitioners for their sacrifices during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and urged them to do more to save lives.

The Head of Administration, Keta Government Hospital receiving the items on behalf of management of the two health facilities expressed gratitude to Melcom care foundation for the gesture, adding that it has come at the right time.
