Mission

To provide capacity building opportunities for manufacturing sector and personnel in the health sector with focus on pharmaceutical practice in the industry, regulatory and policy-making institutions and enhance the growth of the pharmaceutical industry.

Slogan: Quality Systems Guarantee Good Quality Strategy.

The design is to capture the concept of good practices in Pharmacy, Health related disciplines for medical, Nursing, Veterinary and auxiliary personnel in use of quality medicines throughout the distribution chain. This also includes other non-health personnel essential for operations of manufacturing, like analysts, engineers and maintenance staff. The training modules will be suited to a diverse number of disciplines with a niche for quality in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Audits and assessments will be undertaken to identify gaps and/or weaknesses, provide an oversight to training needs and corrective activities that lead to continuous improvement.

The PharmaQ Consortium

Guiding Principles

The need to access global markets presupposes putting the products on the international commerce and hence the need for compliance with international standards and market requirements. The dictum to Marketing authorisation is quality and safety of the medicines which is founded on compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (WHO GMP guidelines).

Problem Statement

Regulatory requirements are ever increasing and so are practice standards, including technology transfer and know-how, skills and regulatory controls. Therefore, the quest for newer knowledge update is the basis to build a sustainable quality culture in the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector in Kenya and the region is ever wanting.

PharmaQ Promise

The needs for various players are diverse and PharmaQ promise is to link, coordinate and customise in order to achieve the requisite quality by employing relevant expertise. The delivery modules design will suite specific customer needs.

The management of PharmaQ Limited will endeavour to facilitate the best possible solution packages to instil knowledge that positively influence practices and skills of participants in order to avail quality products because we believe that ‘Quality Systems guarantee good quality’.
