A 100 percent Liberian-owned pharmacy named the “Chance Pharmacy” has opened its doors to customers at a new and improved facility in Kende Town, on the Robersfield Highway.
The pharmacy, which is the brainchild of Mr. Francis O. Nyeekpee, Jr., aims to provide quality medicine and supplies approved by the United Stated Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Liberia Medicines & Health Products Regulatory Authority (LMHRA).
The Chance Pharmacy release quoted its CEO, Mr. Francis O. Nyeekpee as saying, “the goal of this pharmacy is to “make a difference in the lives of the people we serve.”
He explained that his decision to launch the pharmacy was due to an early experience where he had lost his grandmother because she had taken a substandard drug. “As a result of that experience, I wanted to become a medical doctor, but the opportunity never materialized and so I decided to find other ways to help and assist the healthcare system in our country.”
According to him, his vision for the pharmacy was to give the Liberian population access to quality and affordable drugs, noting that the Chance Pharmacy had first opened its doors in 2017, but that the grand launching was for the company’s new and improved location on the RIA highway near the RLJ Kendeja Villas & Resorts location.
“This had long been in the making, I am thankful to God for this pharmacy because we have come from afar and our journey is a clear manifestation that making a difference is not easy,” Mr. Nyeekpee stated.
He further revealed that the Pharmacy would include a rapid diagnosis lab, which is expected to be opened within a month.
Mrs. Sagnay Freeman welcomed the new pharmacy and said that it would make a major and positive impact on Liberia’s health care sector, and noted that even with the best diagnosis, it would be challenging for a patient to recover without quality medications.
Meanwhile, Liberians in the diaspora are advised to purchase drugs from the Pharmacy for their relatives in Liberia by calling +1 (919) 246-6304 (USA),while the local numbers are +231-7786-48635/8801-54616.
In addition to filling prescriptions and supplying wholesale and retail medical supplies, the pharmacy was also set up to provide cosmetics, health related products, or answer simple health questions.
