On Monday, 6 April, Galp Moçambique launched an initiative to support the Ministry of Health (MISAU) to combat the coronavirus pandemic at a national level. Galp will contribute to the supply of gas (LPG) to 17 health units located throughout the country's provinces, which were previously identified by MISAU as the front-line in combating the proliferation of COVID-19 in Mozambique.
To mark this initiative, a small symbolic award ceremony was held at the Ministry of Health facilities in Maputo, attended by the National Director of Health, Ussene Hilário, Founder of the Tzu Chi Foundation, Dino Foi, and other representatives from the various institutions. “Galp wants to actively contribute to the Mozambican Health Authorities in the fight against this disease and we will make our Gas available to all hospitals and first-line units for as long as necessary,” Francisco Ferreira, COO Galp Moçambique, emphasized at the time.
The company continues to take restrictive measures in the face of the pandemic, adopting the contingency measures outlined by the Galp Group. In Mozambique, all filling stations remain operational and unrestricted, as are gas distribution and all other operational activities. However, all hygiene and cleaning measures for the most critical areas of contact with customers have been redoubled.
