Didier Drogba has offered his hospital up as a coronavirus treatment centre in order to help fight the spread in the Ivory Coast.
The Chelsea legend’s opened a hospital in the Ivorian capital of Abidjan back in 2016. And as fears grow of a rise in cases in the country, Drogba has decided to help deal with the killer disease.
In the Ivory Coast, the first coronavirus case was reported on March 11. A month on, 574 have been positively diagnosed, with 85 recovering and five subsequently losing their lives.
The Ivorian government recently announced 13 hospitals in Abidjan and 45 in the country will be used as COVID-19 treatment centres.
