Affordable Healthcare Products to both Local

Government Agencies, Faith Based

Organizations

• Merger with Strides Shasun has had an

impact towards improving our strength in Anti-

Malaria, Anti - Retroviral and TB drugs.

• Accessibility and availability is always better

when the product is manufactured nearer the

need

Being a Small WHO PQ African

Manufacturer• Small Volume products can be easily done

which would not be feasible for a Large

Manufacturer.

• Cost of manufacturing would be higher than

Large Manufacturers

• Levies and Duties applicable to African

Manufacturers as opposed to Indian and

Chinese Manufacturers (Export incentives).

• Availability of talent, People Cost, energy

Costs relatively higher.

• Donor Community to assist in Building

Capacity and creation of Employment as part

of the Sustainable Development Goals (teach

us how to Fish do not feed us with the Fish).
