He stressed that,the idea was remodelled to honour unsung frontline health workers in the country.
“I have a desk and shelves full of awards; I don’t need it anymore. I would rather it go to the frontline workers, and that’s how the idea of initiating an annual award in my name came about,” Dr Magashi stated.
The awardees expressed their appreciation for the recognition and pledged to put more effort into discharging their duties.
