Activity Description: As the first fully-integrated generic pharmaceutical manufacturer in West Africa, LaGray produces both active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and finished dosage forms. Their focus is on drugs for treating endemic diseases such as HIV-AIDS, opportunistic infections, malaria, tuberculosis and parasitic, bacterial and fungal infections. Although there are currently effective drugs for treating most of these diseases, the issue is affordability and availability. LaGray is pioneering the push toward self-sufficiency in healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa.
