Covid-19: Emirates honoured by Ghana


Emirates received the Presidential Honour for Distinguished Service, at The Ghana National Honours Awards 2023 from President Nana Akufo-Addo for its role in providing medical supplies, humanitarian aid, and unstinting support to Ghana during the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

The airline’s cargo arm airlifted and distributed 62 t of Covid-19 vaccine doses to Ghana during the pandemic. Worldwide, Emirates moved 4,200 t of Covid-19 vaccines, surpassing one billion doses, to over 80 destinations on 2,000 Emirates flights with two-thirds of these doses being transported to developing countries.

 

Emirates also supported the transport of equipment donated by China’s Jack Ma Foundation to the government of Ghana and operated twelve repatriation flights from Dubai to Accra. (cj)
