Dr Oneka Scott- Maternal Child Health Officer

As part of efforts to provide support during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has provided vouchers to 22 mothers with children born with microcephaly.

The vouchers, each worth $20,000, can be en-chased at any of the Bounty Supermarkets countrywide.

In a press release issued yesterday, the Ministry explained that it has consistently offered support to the mothers, who between 2016 and 2018 gave birth to a child with the rare neurological condition.
