Dr Michael Obeng, celebrated Ghanaian-American plastic surgeon, has announced moves to establish a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical firm in Ghana.

Speaking in an interview with  Asaase Radio, Dr Obeng said the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has already granted him licence to set up.

“I have been coming with a group of volunteers since 2007, every year we come and do great work, in Ghana, we have been to the Northern Region, Bolgatanga about two or three times, we have been through Tamale and mostly we are in Kumasi, and of course all these have been possible through the generous contribution from colleagues and friends and people who have donated their money. And it is not only about money but people have volunteered their time,” he said.

Dr Obeng added: “So we have been doing that but right now, the next project that I am embarking on is to build the state-of-the-art pharmaceutical plants, drug by Africans for Africans to curtail some of the fake drugs that are being imported into the sub-region from places like Pakistan, China and parts of India.”

The project which initially started in Kumasi was halted due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease last year.

Dr Obeng told Asaase Radio efforts are currently underway to raise funds to finance the establishment of the plant.

“We are working diligently to raise money and to build state-of-the-art pharmaceutical plant, we have been granted license by the FDA. We started in Kumasi but because of the COVID-19 we had to put the project on hold, and now the vision is getting bigger,” Dr Obeng told ABS.

He added: “So now we are looking around Akwamu and parts of Accra to find a bigger piece of land so we can build upon it and expand as we grow so that is what we are doing to build the plant to make affordable drugs.”

The first four lines of drug to be manufactured at the plant are anti-diabetic, anti-malaria, anti-hypertensive and pain medication.
