Our Core Values
Disrupt Thoughtfully
Ignite innovation in African pharmacy by challenging conventional approaches, always with a deep commitment to patient safety.
Design for the Forgotten
Prioritize the development of solutions that directly address the unique needs and challenges of low-resource settings in Africa.
Lift as You Climb
Ensure a strong and meaningful representation of projects and leadership from underrepresented African pharmacists, fostering collective growth and empowerment.
Cultivate Ingenuity
Awaken the inherent creativity and problem-solving potential within African pharmacy through continuous learning and the bold exploration of new ideas.
Why underrepresented countries
1. Address Innovation Inequality
Global health innovation disproportionately serves wealthy nations, focusing on students in LMICs will cultivate locally-driven solutions for their unique healthcare challenges.
2. Modernize Pharmacy Practice
Outdated education systems in LMICs often produce "pill counters" rather than "problem solvers," targeting students allows us to instill the innovation skills needed to transform pharmacy practice.
3. Cultivate Future Leaders
Pharmacists in LMICs are underrepresented in health policy and tech leadership, empowering students with innovation and leadership skills will ensure their expertise shapes future healthcare systems.
4. Combat Brain Drain
A lack of opportunity for innovation drives talented pharmacists away from LMICs, focusing on students and fostering local innovation ecosystems will help retain crucial expertise within their communities.
5. Break the "Dispenser" Mold
The prevailing view of pharmacists as mere dispensers limits their potential, engaging with students will cultivate a generation of pharmacists who see themselves – and are seen – as solution designers and innovators.
