Congo pharmacists ask health ministry to revoke Propharma license
The National Order of Pharmacists cites alleged procedural irregularities and unauthorized activities by Propharma.
The National Order of Pharmacists in Congo has requested the Ministry of Health and Population to review Propharma’s operating license. Dr. MPANDZO Djagger, president of the Order, stated on October 27, 2026, that Propharma may have conducted business, including importation, without required prior authorizations, violating pharmaceutical regulations.
Dr. MPANDZO Djagger reported that the Order formally approached the Ministry of Health on June 1, 2026, with a request for clarification regarding Propharma's authorization, but received no response. He also noted that a prior inquiry to the General Inspectorate of Health on March 30, 2026, also went unanswered.
