The prestigious industry association, The Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA), has paid tribute to Owusu A. Akoto, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of FreezeLink, for supporting Ghana with pharmaceutical-grade cold chain transport, alongside the Ghana Health Service and other partners, for 600,000 doses of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines, submitted through the COVAX vaccine-sharing initiative.
GCCA serves more than 1,100 companies, in 85 countries, who provide temperature-controlled supply chain services in the agriculture, food and pharmaceutical sectors: FreezeLink, the trailblazing, one-stop-shop for cold chain logistics, is the first and only company in Ghana to become a member.
Ghana's first Covid-19 vaccines, mentioned above, were also the first, globally, of the 2 billion doses from COVAX - the vaccine sharing program, lead by the World Health Organisation, Gavi and others - that are planned for distribution in 2021.
