Activities of BethAri Limited

2018 April Lagos, Nigeria
BethAri Limited is facilitating workshops to validate the QMS roadmaps (and provide technical training on ISO 9001:2015 requirements) for the 15 ECOWAS National Medicines Regulatory Authorities (NMRAs) & strengthen their Regulatory capacity organised by the West African Health Organisation (WAHO).

Within the framework to support the 15 National Medicines Regulatory Authorities to strengthen their Regulatory capacity by obtaining ISO 9001:2015 certification and ascension to the Pharmaceutical Inspection Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S), BethAri limited under the auspices of WAHO conducted a gap assessment of the QMS for all NMRAs of the 15 ECOWAS member states in 2015 & 2017.

Following on from this, BethAri is facilitating and providing technical training in the WAHO organised workshop to discuss the findings of the gap assessment and to validate the country QMS roadmaps and subsequently ensure ownership by the relevant stakeholders. The workshop was successfully held on the 3^rd to 4^th April followed by the technical training on ISO 9001 requirements between 5^th & 7^th April 2018 in Lagos, Nigeria.

 

2018 April Accra, Ghana
BethAri Limited is participating at the experts meeting, in Accra from 16 to 20th April, to develop medicines policy, legislation and regulation in Africa organised by the West African Health Organisation (WAHO).

The complexity of public health problems in West Africa is well documented. This has necessitated the collaboration of all stakeholders in the pharmaceutical sector in addressing the challenges.  However, the problems at all levels (local, national & regional) of accessibility to quality assured, safe & efficacious medicines persists despite interventions by national governments.

Part of the contingent solutions was the development of the ECOWAS regional pharmaceutical plan (ERPP) 2014 – 2020 led by WAHO (which BethAri was involved in) to look at the specific components of the pharmaceutical sector and how key stakeholders can be engaged to drive change and continuous improvement.

This was intended to ensure that the objectives of accessibility of quality assured & efficacious medicines at levels is met.  In furtherance of this objective, it is important to develop an ECOWAS regional pharmaceutical policy, legislation & regulation to strengthen and enforce the implementation of activities within the ERPP to guide the making of proactive, efficient, effective and accountable public health decisions for measurable outcomes.
