The function was attended by the Chief Guest Mombasa County Deputy Governor Dr William Kingi, County Minister of Health Hazel Koitaba and County Chief Medical Officer Dr. Khadija Shikely. Representing the CGTRH were Dr. Ochola Deputy CEO, Dr Vaghela, Physician Head of Isolation Unit, Dr Mohamed Sood, Chief Nephrologist and Covid19 Response Team Coordinator and Elizabeth Kivuva, Director of Nursing.

Gafoor Pasta and Rtn. Bhupinder Birgi from the Organizing Committee besides many other Rotarians and guests.
In recognition of personal sacrifices the ‘REAL MASHUJAAS’ received substantial dry food gift hampers and personalized Certificates of Appreciation. Surely a day to remember for the deserved recipients and for all those present who put their hands together for the frontline stalwarts.
A vote of thanks to Dr. Iqbal Khandwalla, the CGTRH CEO and his team for being the leaders in the country and showing the way to their peers in this difficult but surmountable task. #PamojaKomeshaCorona.
