Ernest Chemist, a wholly-owned indigenous pharmaceutical company, has been recognised for its excellence in producing pharmaceutical products in two separate wards – the 2017 People's Choice Practitioners and Local Pharmaceutical Institution of the Year.

The recent awards ceremony which was held at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Kumasi by The Heleh Africa Honours also honoured other distinguished Ghanaians with 24-karat gold medals.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ernest Chemists Limited, Ernest Bediako Sampong, expressed his firm belief that this feat would not have been attained without the strong faith Ghanaians have in Ernest Chemists to continue providing quality medicines at affordable prices.

He said, “We have been graced by the growing loyalty of our cherished customers over the past decades and we are even more geared to do more for our most deserving current and potential clientele.  It is in this light that we have taken steps to expand our current operations to help us meet the increased demand of our locally manufactured medicines.”

As a key strategy, Mr Bediako Sampong revealed the company has initiated an investment programme to procure modern and high capacity equipment aimed at increasing the output of our liquid products by 300 per cent.

He reiterated that “our currently under-construction good manufacturing practice (GMP) – compliant factory on a Greenfield, upon completion by the close of 2018, shall not only increase our output further by adding new dosage forms and product lines to our present portfolio but also help upgrade our operational and management systems to meet current regulatory requirements and international standards.”

Mr Bediako Sampong was of the firm conviction that the upcoming expansions would yield a wider coverage of its affordable medicines which are of the highest quality for even more Ghanaians. “We are passionate in our quest to help create a healthier Ghana as we believe that health is indeed wealth,” he said.

To the company's local and international customer base, Mr Bediako Sampong gave assurance of their unwavering commitment to be an excellent partner in healthcare across the West African sub-region.
