The Corporate Communications Manager of Ernest Chemists, Clement Atagra, said they were happy to continue working with partners like GCGL to promote the health and wellbeing of Ghanaians across the country.
Mr Atagra stated that as part of Ernest Chemists’ CSR, every year they committed a substantial amount of money to drugs to support a cause like this.
“Ernest Chemists is a household name in Ghana and the West African Sub-Region, serving the society through the production and marketing of quality drugs, and we are happy to team up with Graphic for such a worthy cause for the community," he added.
Appreciation
Receiving the supplies on behalf of GCGL, a Senior Corporate Communications Officer, Mavis Asiama, expressed appreciation for the support to reach out to the community with such a critical intervention.
She said each year members within the community and beyond looked forward to taking part in the health screening exercise, thus Graphic was obliged to organise it.
“However, it is not easy to do it alone, thus Graphic welcomes and appreciates the support and collaboration,” Mrs Asiama said.
