Strengthening Nigeria’s Health System through Medicines Policy Reform

“As CEO of ARC_ESM, I extend a heartfelt invitation to senior policymakers at the National and Sub-National levels, development partners, and private sector leaders to join us at a pivotal roundtable on the future of Nigeria’s pharmaceutical supply chain.

We recognize and deeply respect the work that has been done over the years by countless stakeholders, governments, institutions, and partners, who have laid the foundation for progress in this space. Building on these efforts, ARC_ESM has recently focused on strengthening access to lifesaving health products through targeted policy initiatives and strategic partnerships. From advancing public private partnerships, pooled purchasing and innovative shared warehousing models to supporting improved coordination and last-mile delivery, we are committed to complementing ongoing efforts with scalable, collaborative solutions.

This roundtable offers an opportunity to come together, not to reinvent the wheel, but to identify where we can leapfrog progress, align fragmented initiatives, and amplify what is already working. We aim to co-develop practical, evidence-informed recommendations that can guide national and subnational decision-making and accelerate access to essential medicines for all Nigerians.

We hope you will lend your voice, experience, and leadership to this important conversation. Together, we can create a more connected, equitable, and resilient pharmaceutical system for the future.”
