Great value addition to Nigeria's Health Sector!

The National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD), in partnership with the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), with support from the World Bank, recently organized a capacity-building workshop to empower Nigerian pharmaceutical manufacturers to pursue World Health Organization (WHO) Pre-qualification for antimalarial medicines. Pre-qualification is a globally recognized certification that ensures medicines meet international standards for quality, safety, and efficacy, and opens doors to broader regional and global markets. During the workshop, participants gained insights into critical requirements, including documentation, quality assurance systems, and regulatory expectations required for WHO standards. This sort of intervention aligns with the Presidential Initiative for Unlocking the Healthcare Value Chain and ensuring medicines quality.
