Rail Transport

We have been fortunate to service this industry at a very critical and opportune time where Africa’s rail sector was re-writing the narrative of Africa’s growth potential. We partnered with TMH Africa to tell authentic African stories of how the investments into this sector are increasing Africa’s competitiveness, moving loads and loads of goods from our roads to rail and connecting Africa to Intra-Africa trade and regional integration.
We have done work for TMH Africa, a subsidiary of TMH International, a division of the TMH Group, and a world leader in railway engineering and Russia’s largest company in transport engineering. Globally, TMH has an annual turnover of 4.5. billion Euros employs over 100 000 people, has 13 industrial sites and nine locomotive repair sites, and has 15 000 locomotives under maintenance.

Gilead Sciences, Inc. today announced that it has become an official partner of the 2019 Total Africa Cup of Nations – Africa’s biggest football competition. During the tournament, Gilead is working in partnership with local organizations to launch a new hepatitis B and C awareness campaign, called Kick Virus B & C.
Hepatitis B and C is now one of the biggest infectious disease killers in Africa surpassing HIV/AIDS and TB in some countries.
Gilead Sciences recently ran an innovative Pan-African awareness campaign for viral hepatitis, called Kick Virus B and C. One part of the campaign was inviting leading African experts to share their views on the disease.
Danjuma K. Adda, the Executive Director and Founder of Chagro-Care Trust, a non-profit organisation that helps hepatitis patients in Nigeria shared his perspective on how Nigerians can beat hepatitis by working together.
In Ghana, an estimated 13% of the population has hepatitis B (HBV) and some 4-5% have hepatitis C (HCV). The problem is especially severe in rural areas due to a lack of awareness and access to healthcare.
This is why innovative awareness messages, like the recent hepatitis awareness campaign that Gilead Sciences ran called Kick Virus B and C, are so crucial.
One part of the campaign included having leading experts on hepatitis, like Theobald Owusu-Ansah, the President of the Hepatitis Foundation of Ghana and the Hepatitis Coalition of Ghana, shed some light on how their country is fighting the disease.
