Top players in the pharmaceutical and health care industry from all over the world will convene at the Africa Pharmaceutical Summit (APS) West 2016, holding from 6 to 7 September at Eko Hotel and Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The summit, which is expected to be graced by policy-makers, pharmaceutical professionals, institutional investors and key stakeholders, is to discuss developments and opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry.
The APS West 2016 themed: “Driving Forward Improvement in Pharmaceutical Industry – A Clear Framework for Investment,” according to Mr Miles Mudzviti, founder and CEO, PharmaAfrica, was brought to Lagos Nigeria “after successful editions in Hammamet, Tunisia, Accra, Ghana and Nairobi Kenya.”
PharmaAfrica, Mudzviti explained, is privileged to work closely with the pharmaceutical and health industry, global and regional stakeholders, as well policymakers, to pick up the latest developments in the industry and integrate them into the summit concept in a manner appropriate to the target group.
