The project’s goals
To attain regional scope and consolidate the policy of access to quality medicines in West Africa, the overarching public health and safety challenge, the national laboratory of quality control of medicines Benin must obtain certification from the World Health Organization.
This requires the extension of its facilities as well as the enhancement of its technical and human resources, which will strengthen its control and training missions on the national and regional scale.
Benin authorities consider this project to be a top priority and have made the strengthening of the capacities of the national laboratory of quality control of medicines one of its major recommendations in the Etats généraux de la santé, held in Cotonou in November 2007.
