The Coca-Cola Company in The Gambia (GAMBEGA)
announced on Thursday it has collaborated with MedShare “to donate another
container of medical supplies worth over USD $200, 000” to the Edward Francis
Small Hospital in Banjul.
Details about the donation, which is the third
of its kind, was revealed to journalists during a May 2, 2013 reception held at
the Coco Ocean hotel – meant to recognise the company’s partnership with the local
media and to discuss how to strength that relationship.
Adolfo Marti, Country Manager of GAMBEGA said:
“In addition to the donation of medical containers, GAMBEGA had undertaken
several community support projects including renovation of the emergency of the
Francis Small Hospital in 2010.”
He said GAMBEGA is currently supporting the
Fanta Science and Mathematics Competition for Senior Secondary Schools in The
Gambia, and the construction of the first Waste Water Treatment Plant in the
country.
