Pharma distribution hub opens in Nigeria

A pharmaceutical distribution centre in Nigeria's Abuja region has been set up to bolster the country's network of hubs handling the supply of medicines.

The hub was set up by MDS Logistics, a subsidiary of UAC Nigeria PLC, and will improve the delivery of medicines and make tracing counterfeit drugs easier, said National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) Director General Dr. Paul Orhii at an opening ceremony earlier this week.

Up to five additional distribution hubs in other Nigerian regions are also planned.
