Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure reliable access to safe, effective and quality health products and technologies in Africa through strategic investments in pharmaceutical workforce development, business ecosystem support services and policy shaping interventions.

Our Vision

We envision a continent with a vibrant pharmaceutical industry anchored on strong pharmaceutical systems where every patient is assured of the highest quality of health products and technologies they need for their wellness.

Our Values

Humanity

Before all else, we are human. We respect others, are considerate and value human diversity in perspective, experiences and background which moves the human race forward. We treat each other with kindness and empathy.

Integrity

We believe that doing the right thing comes first. We love to win but how we win does matter. Tell the truth, don’t take or offer bribes and guard your reputation by all means.

Professionalism

We are professionals keen on making a contribution in our different spaces. We apply our professional expertise and competencies in discharging our mandate. We uphold professional standards of conduct and aspire to inspire professionalism in the industry.

Team Work

We are a team and our bond unites us. We work as a team, win as a team and face our shortcomings together. We believe in each other and strive to help each other get better in the pursuit of our professional and personal aspirations.

Client Value Creation

We work with and for others in the conduct of our business. In each of our interactions with clients, we focus on delivering value to them – solving a problem they are contending with, enabling them solve a problem they have or facilitating access to resources they need to meet key needs. We play to our competitive advantage to deliver value even when it means referring clients to our peers or competitors in the market. When we don’t have the capacity, we inform our clients upfront and explore ways to help them.
