In a proactive effort to enhance disaster preparedness and communication capabilities, telecommunications provider DIGICEL has generously donated three satellite phones to the Prime Minister’s Office. This valuable contribution aims to bolster the nation’s ability to stay connected and coordinate during emergency situations.

The satellite phones donated by DIGICEL are equipped with technology that offers robust connectivity in even the most challenging conditions. They are user-friendly and designed for quick deployment, making them an ideal asset for emergency situations.
Prime Minister Drew expressed appreciation for DIGICEL’s generous donation, stating, “I would like to extend our sincere thanks to DIGICEL for their generous contribution. These satellite phones will significantly enhance our ability to respond effectively to emergencies and serve our citizens in times of need. We value the partnership we have with DIGICEL and look forward to continued collaboration for the betterment of our nation.”
