In her address, Country Director for MSD for Mothers, Iyadunni Olubode, emphasised that the PACS project is helping to improve health-seeking behaviour and advance the goal of universal health coverage. She attributed the progress of the initiative to strong stakeholder collaboration, particularly with the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN), and to the establishment of a transparent supply chain that ensures the availability of high-quality medicines. She also underscored the need to strengthen partnerships between government and the private sector in equipping community pharmacists and PPMVs to reach more underserved populations. Pharmacist Ibrahim Babashehu Ahmed, Registrar of PCN, spoke on the importance of developing a sustainable solution for Nigeria’s pharmaceutical supply chain. He expressed confidence that the outcomes of the meeting would serve as a catalyst to advance the framework of the National Drug Distribution Guidelines (NDDGs). Also, Hon. Amobi Ogah, Chairman of the House Committee on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Malaria Control (ATM), raised concerns about the proliferation of substandard medicines, particularly antimalarials, and expressed the Committee’s readiness to support stronger regulatory oversight and full implementation of the NDDGs. Recommendations from the session included integrating PACS market innovations into the NDDGs, strengthening national oversight of the informal private health sector, evaluating compliance with the “Test, Treat, and Track” (T3) malaria strategy, and incorporating informal sector service data into national health systems. The PACS project is implemented by Society for Family Health (SFH) and the Solina Centre for International Development and Research (SCIDaR), with funding support from MSD for Mothers.
