If you can find an ice-cold Coca-Cola product almost anywhere in Africa, why not life-saving medicines?

In Africa, nearly 50% of people lack access to critical medicines, yet products like Coca-Cola are available almost anywhere on the continent.


We’re working to change that.

The challenge

In Africa, governments and donors are making progress providing essential health products and services where they are needed. However, health systems often struggle to get these products to hard-to-reach communities, promote their services, and properly store medicines and vaccines.


Our solution

We are a global cross-sector partnership between donors, ministries of health, and the private sector to translate supply chain and marketing best practices from The Coca-Cola ecosystem into customized solutions for public health challenges.
