Disclosing this recently, the Managing Director of Swiss Pharma Nigeria Limited, Frederic Lieutaud, disclosed that the achievement of WHO Prequalification for Swipha’s SP 500/25mg Tablet underscores the company’s commitment to providing high-quality, life-saving medicines that meet international standards of safety, efficacy, and quality assurance. He noted that the prequalification also represents a significant step forward in the fight against malaria in pregnancy in Nigeria and across Africa.

“We are immensely proud to have received WHO Prequalification for our Sulfadoxine Plus Pyrimethamine Tablet for preventing malaria in pregnancy. This achievement demonstrates our unwavering commitment to improving maternal health and combating malaria, two critical public health challenges in Nigeria and beyond. We believe every woman deserves access to safe and effective preventive measures during pregnancy, and we are dedicated to making this a reality,” said Lieutaud.

Also speaking on the milestone, Swipha’s Business Development & Licensing Director Abbas Sambo stated that the achievement highlights Swipha’s belief in providing safe and effective medicines for all, particularly maternal and child health. “This certification enables us to offer the SP Tablet to organisations and governments worldwide, contributing to improved maternal and child health outcomes. We are actively seeking partnerships with global entities such as the Global Fund and USAID to tackle critical health challenges like Malaria,” Sambo added.

Sambo further stressed the importance of collaboration in addressing these health issues, reiterating Swipha’s commitment to working with global organisations, governments, and other stakeholders to ensure essential medicines are accessible to all.
