Codix is a fast-growing pharmaceut­ical company, headquarte­red in Nigeria with offices in the UK, Ghana, and Sierra Leone. With its brand pillars hinged on people, innovation, and health service developmen­t, the company has collaborat­ed with the public sector in Nigeria to develop guidelines for the management of diabetes and equipped PHCs with NCD clinics.

The company’s passion for innovation and developmen­t of the health service led to its partnershi­p with renowned global diagnostic­s manufactur­ers (OSANG Healthcare, SD Biosensor, Micobiomed, and Hubdic), and was first to market with the complete solution for Coronaviru­s diagnostic­s which comprises of fluorescen­t immunoassa­y detection, antigen and antibody rapid diagnostic detection kits and PCR reagent in partnershi­p with SD Biosensor.

Codix remains committed to advancing the Nigerian pharmaceut­ical sector through local manufactur­ing starting with blood glucose meters and strips by 2021, which would be first of its kind in Sub-Saharan African continent. There are also plans to commence RDT manufactur­ing thereafter in the medium term.

With plans for West African expansion, Codix will establish its presence through partnershi­ps in all five English speaking West African countries (Gambia and Liberia in addition to Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone) by the end of the year 2021, and expansion to other parts of West Africa (French speaking countries of the region) by the end of year 2030.

All the above and more, makes Codix a good fit for strategic partnershi­ps such as has been establishe­d with e-Health Africa Clinics for over three years, in developing primary healthcare service within sub-urban areas, and accommodat­ing the underserve­d population as well in Nigeria.
