Kasapreko Company limited, a renowned Ghanaian beverage-producing firm, launched Awake purified mineral water few months ago to focus on changing lives in the country.<\/p>\n

According to the company, part of the amount made from the sale of the mineral water will be channeled to the cardiothoracic centre to help save more lives.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a short donation ceremony, Group Chairman of Kasapreko, Dr. Kwabena Adjei said the company produced the Awake mineral water for two reasons; to refresh Ghanaians and save lives.<\/p>\n

While urging citizens to patronize the water, Dr. Adjei also pledged to donate GHc10, 000 monthly from his private coffers to the centre for the next six months.<\/p>\n

Receiving the cheque, the Director of the National Cardiothoracic Centre, Dr. Lawrence Serebour bemoaned the spate of heart related diseases recorded by the facility.<\/p>\n

He lamented that the number is usually made up of children, adding that the trend is very worrying.<\/p>\n

Dr. Serebour further called on benevolent organisations to emulate Awake water.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a heart disease is not a problem but having the means to the cure\u2026So let\u2019s all support to save lives,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
