Pharmalys is Celebrating 10 years of Operations in Africa

Hello All ! Welcome to the Pharmalys newsletter We have so much good news to share in our March Newsletter. The primary focus and theme will be on Quality as it relates to collaboration with our customers, individual achievements and organisational achievements. Firstly, we’d like to highlight our continued pursuit in operating with quality standards as a clinical research organization captured in a written article about our participation in the World Quality Week 2022. Furthermore, we remain dynamic in the way that we collaborate with our customers and our people, illustrated by our “Who we are” video.

Lastly, we’d like to celebrate our people and their individual achievements and contributions to the greater Pharmalys mission by highlighting three key promotions.

WORLD QUALITY WEEK 2022 Pharmalys Ltd. participated in the CQI (Chartered Quality Institute), #WQW22 (World Quality Week 2022) which took place on 07-11 November 2022. Since November 2021, the CQI has moved to a week-long campaign for its world quality celebration. Each year, the CQI announces a new theme that covers a range of issues and topics relevant to the profession for members to develop and promote. However, organisations may want to interpret the theme in a way that complements their corporate strategy and initiatives. The CQI’s key aim is to fly the flag for World Quality Week, to produce tools and assets for organisations to use, and to encourage spreading the philosophy of quality. CQI advocates for World Quality Week ambassadors, who may be an individual, a local business unit, a team or an entire company. In 2022, the new Director of Business Excellence and Quality Management, Nana Tawiah, took on the role as the WQW ambassador for #WQW22. Learn more about #WQW22 at Pharmalys
