CORK, Ireland, April 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Essential communication technology is being made available free of charge to COVID-19 healthcare crisis teams in their battle against the pandemic.

Public health services around the world are being offered the critical communication firepower by Poppulo a global leader in employee communications technology to connect with their frontline workers and first responders.

Ireland's national public health service, the Health Service Executive, has already taken up the offer for its COVID-19 communication team.

Poppulo CEO, Andrew OShaughnessy, said the company was in the privileged position that its platform was designed for the type of urgent communications public healthcare crisis teams need right now, and it wanted to help in any way possible.

The company has fast-tracked set-up processes so that crisis teams can get up and running quickly.

Every day, communications to over 25 million employees in over 900 companies across 100+ countries are sent through Poppulo, and over the past few weeks, tens of millions of those communications have been related to the COVID-19 crisis.

For crisis teams, its critical to be able to get the right information to the right people at the right time, and not burden already overwhelmed frontline workers with communications that are not relevant to them. The crisis teams also need to be able to get instant feedback from the coalface.
