each have an essential role to play during this COVID-19 crisis”, said Mrs. Audrey Hinchcliffe, Chief Executive Officer of MMS. “On April 12, the MMS Limited Foundation pledged JMD $250,000 to help in the purchasing of health supplies for our health care professionals, and today the MMS Limited Group handed over, 2000 N95 masks to the National Health Fund so that they can distribute them, as they deem appropriate, to reach those that need it the most, our nurses and doctors who are working tirelessly on the frontline against this pandemic”.
MMS has always taken a proactive approach when there is a threat to the country’s healthcare system. And it is MMS involvement in the COVID -19 fight that prompts the contributions. Known for its underpinning in cleaning and sanitation, Mrs. Hinchcliffe also shared that the company’s cleaning and sanitation workers are also working on the frontline against COVID-19 and they too require personal protective equipment and supplies as well. In this regard, MMS has them trained and equipped as they work in our hospitals, Business Processing Outsourcing companies (BPO’s), shopping malls, points of entry, education and business entities among others.
MMS continues to be on the frontline, working assiduously to implement steps for the control and mitigation of diseases. In March of this year, the company hosted workshops and sensitization sessions on the coronavirus to educate on symptoms of the virus, transmission, prevention and treatment and minimizing risk at home and in the workplace. The company also donated 200 N95 masks to the Spanish Town Hospital.
