Pharmalys at the EDCTP Forum, Kigali 2025

Jul 15, 2025 | Quality & Business Excellence

Pharmalys participated as an exhibitor at the EDCTP Forum 2025, held from 15 to 20 June 2025 in Kigali, Rwanda. The event brought together a diverse community of stakeholders, providing a unique platform for collaboration, learning, and visibility. This year’s theme, Better health through global research partnerships’, aligns closely with our mission: ‘Better health through data excellence’. Data and collaboration together drive the innovations that improve lives around the world.

As a Contract Research Organisation committed to ethical, high-quality research that makes a meaningful impact on global health, our presence at the forum was both strategic and inspiring. The event offered a dynamic environment to share our mission, learn from others, and play a part in advancing clinical research across Africa.

Our exhibition booth served as a hub for engaging conversations and knowledge exchange. We showcased our comprehensive service offerings, including:

  • Clinical trial management (Phases I–IV)
  • Regulatory affairs and ethics submissions
  • Site monitoring and quality assurance
  • Data management and biostatistics
  • Capacity building and training

We connected with partners, explored new opportunities, and reaffirmed our vision:

 ‘A world free of unnecessary suffering due to unmet health care needs’

We are proud to be part of a community that is driving impactful change through science, innovation, and partnership. A heartfelt thank you to the EDCTP organisers for creating such a valuable space for discussions and exchanges on  how to advance global health through equitable partnerships, collaborative research, innovation, and capacity-building in sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.

We look forward to continuing our contribution to the advancement of clinical research in Africa and to building on the connections and insights gained during the forum.
