The former Ivory Coast football star put a private hospital at the disposal of the authorities in his country, as part of efforts to tackle the new Corona virus (Covid-19).
The charity of the former player of the English club Chelsea announced that it had granted the hospital to the authorities in Ivory Coast for use in a massive campaign to detect the Corona virus.
The hospital established by Drogba has not yet opened, and it bears the name "Laurent Bocco", the name of a former Ivory Coast player who died in 2016.
The governor of the capital, Abidjan, Vincent Toh B. Erie, expressed his appreciation to Drogba, and said that what the former scorer had done was "a national act."
Authorities in Ivory Coast are planning to open 13 testing centers for the Corona virus, which has infected 533 people so far, and has killed four of them.
