Channels to care
From specialist centres to communities
Why we exist
The patients
did not go
anywhere.
Over the past years, several international pharmaceutical companies have changed their operating model in Nigeria. The reasons were commercial rather than clinical: currency, cost and complexity. The patients did not go anywhere. Neither did the hospitals, the specialist centres or the pharmacies that serve them. AfrikNexus Healthcare was formed to hold that ground.
We are building a new model for specialty pharmaceutical access, bringing trusted therapies closer to patients through strategic partnerships, targeted commercialisation and a commitment to treatment continuity.
The thinking behind AfrikNexus ↗Routes to care
From product access
to the point of care.
