Tackling the last mile of medicine supply
Dr. Chibuzo Opara co-founded Drugstoc, a cutting-edge, cloud-based pharma tech distribution platform in Nigeria, in 2015, with dreams of becoming Africa’s most significant last mile pharmaceutical distribution player. Deeply affected by the challenges faced in his own medical practice, Chibuzo’s determination was further fueled by the tragic loss of his father, a professor of surgery, due to the lack of medicines that should have been easily accessible. By embracing technology and innovation, Drugstoc has triumphed over the hurdles of poor supply chain management and counterfeit drugs to procure and deliver verifiable pharmaceuticals from reputable manufacturers to more than 3,000 healthcare providers.
