Dr. Kofi Addo-Agyekum with other dignitaries cutting the tape to officially open the office<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KofiKrom Pharmacy, Dr. Kofi Addo-Agyekum, has said the COVID-19 pandemic brought with it some blessings in the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n
According to him, the pandemic influenced the company\u2019s small-scale manufacturing plant setup in Accra.<\/p>\n
Speaking during the opening of its ultra-modern office in South La, Accra on October 12, 2024, Dr. Addo-Agyekum reflected on the challenges the pharmaceutical industry has faced, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
He noted that the pandemic, though devastating, presented an opportunity for growth and innovation adding that the call from President Akufo-Addo, for local industries to step up during the pandemic led to KofiKrom starting a small-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic became a blessing in the face of adversity,\u201d Dr. Addo-Agyekum stated. \u201cThe President\u2019s call to support the fight against the pandemic led us to start local manufacturing, adding over 25 products to our offerings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dr. Addo-Agyekum further praised the Food and Drugs Authority\u2019s efficient registration process, and acknowledged the government tax reliefs, which reduced medicine prices for patients.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe pray that the discounts on benchmark values will be reintroduced to make medicines more affordable,\u201d Dr. Addo-Agyekum stressed.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on this growth, Dr. Addo-Agyekum stressed KofiKrom\u2019s mission to become a center of leadership in healthcare, not just in Ghana, but globally.<\/p>\n
Dr. Addo-Agyekum stressed that this retail outlet would offer innovative services, including online orders, 24-hour operations, and home delivery, setting it apart from traditional pharmacies.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, Dr. Addo-Agyekum spoke about KofiKrom\u2019s ongoing efforts to improve the pharmaceutical supply chain in Ghana.<\/p>\n
He underlined the importance of proper storage and transportation of medicines, highlighting KofiKrom\u2019s compliance with regulatory requirements for maintaining the quality and efficacy of its products.<\/p>\n
He called for industry-wide adherence to best practices in medicine transport, stressing that pharmaceuticals should be handled with care and professionalism to ensure patient safety.<\/p>\n
Dr. Addo-Agyekum also expressed gratitude to his family, staff and customers for the success of KofiKrom.<\/p>\n
