For five consecutive weeks, Bliss GVS Pharma, a Global Pharmaceutical Company, known for the manufacturing, and marketing of high-quality pharmaceutical formulations at affordable prices, has donated antimalarial and other essential medicines to various hospitals, schools and colleges in five selected regions in Ghana.

These donations were also accompanied by health talks to help equip Ghanaians on Malaria and personal hygiene.

 The activities are aimed to help reduce the Malaria burden in Africa, an objective that echoes the theme of World Malaria Day 2022. 

World Malaria Day 2022 is focused on reducing Malaria mortality by identifying and implementing strategies and plans to lessen the disease burden.

This year’s theme, "Harness innovation to reduce the malaria disease burden and save lives”, will help advance the roles of various health stakeholders in accelerating initiatives, interventions and policies in malaria cure and prevention.

Bliss GVS Pharma Ghana, under “ACT FOR AFRICA, an initiative towards a Malaria free continent in Africa”, is commemorating this year’s World Malaria Day to help create, engage, collaborate and identify solutions in malaria sensitization, prevention and cure. This will be the company’s strategic contribution to empowering the Ghanaian health ecosystem against malaria.

Beneficiary hospitals for the donation of anti-malarials such as LONART, P-ALAXIN and other essential medications worth GHS 150,000 are the Koforidua Regional Hospital, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi, Tamale Teaching Hospital, Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, Takoradi and the Tema General Hospital.

BLISS GVS Ghana has been pioneering initiatives to help reduce the Malaria burden for more than two decades, with a well-known antimalarial product basket. Bliss GVS Ghana plans on making similar donations to other health facilities in the country under the ACT FOR AFRICA campaign to help facilities fight the battle against the deadly disease Malaria.

Similar support was extended to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ridge Hospital, 37 Military Hospital and Police Hospital to mark last year’s World Malaria Day 2021.

It is the company’s wish that the donated medicines will be used for needy people to have easy access to health care.

More so, Bliss GVS’ “ACT FOR AFRICA” aims at empowering the doctors and other stakeholders through CME, Pharmacy meetings, training of nurses and creating awareness in society about malaria and other disease conditions.
