Access to quality medicines in Sub-Saharan Africa is challenging. As an enthusiastic, motivated and hardworking young man, I have developed keen interest in the Quality of medicines circulating in sub-Saharan Africa. With a good understanding of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes and analysis, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) in accordance with international standards (ICH, EU, FDA, CFDA, WHO, ISO), I am interested in working with governments, nongovernmental organization, etc, in ensuring that only quality medicines reach sub-Saharan Africa. In December 2013 at the First Scientific Conference on Medicines Regulation in Africa, I proposed to the African Medicine Regulatory Harmonization Initiative (AMRHI), the Harmonization of Good Manufacturing Practice audit in Africa, as a key to creating an enabling environment for quality medicines manufacturing and regulation. Quality manufacturing and monitoring the quality of medicines in the pharmaceutical supply chain are two major ways we can ensure that only safe and quality medicines are dispensed.
