The Coca-Cola Bottling Company has presented a check in the amount of GHC113,430 to the Covid-19 Private Sector Fund, which recently spearheaded the construction of the first infectious disease center in Ghana.
The Coca-Cola Bottling Ghana raised the funds from a promotion the company has been running for more than six months as part of efforts to support the work of the Covid-19 Private Sector Fund.
As part of the promotion, the company offered to donate 10 pesewas for each bottle purchased from the 1.5-liter bottle of Coca Cola, Fanta or Sprite.
Bethel Yeboah, Ghana Coca-Cola Bottling Company Limited’s Communications and Public Affairs Manager, presented the check on behalf of the Company to Felix Kyei-Mensah, administrator of the Covid-19 Private Sector Fund.
“On behalf of the many loyal consumers of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Ghana, we presented the first check in this partnership initiative,” said Yeboah. He promised that the promotion will continue until the end of June next year.
In response, Mr. Kyei Mensah said: “We wish to thank the Coca-Cola Company for this partnership. In fact, we are grateful for the support and we are grateful for everyone. [Coca-Cola] consumers. We want to encourage all of us Ghanaians to sponsor [Coca-Cola products] to help fight Covid-19 “.
He also urged the public to continue to observe Covid-19 preventive protocols to help control the spread of the disease.
Ghana’s Covid-19 Private Sector Fund was established by a group of business executives in response to the rallying cry for an “all hands on deck” approach to the national fight against the global pandemic.
The Fund’s efforts and numerous initiatives culminated in the construction of the Ghana Center for Infectious Diseases, located at Ga East Municipal Hospital in Accra. The center is expected to receive its first batch of Covid-19 patients in December.
