CHAN MEDI-PHARM LTD/GTE is a private not for profit, charitable, faith based non-governmental organization (NGO) registered in Nigeria under the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 1990 to promote equity and access to quality health care products and services in Nigeria and elsewhere. CHAN Medi-Pharm started in 1979 as a division of Christian Health Association of Nigerian (CHAN) and was known then as CHANPharm.
Established as an ecumenical drug supply organization, CHANPharm was founded by three prominent church bodies: the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), the Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN), and the Northern Christian Medical Advisory Council (NCMAC). The main thrust of CHANPharm was to coordinate the provision of essential medicines and medical supplies for church-owned health facilities across the country.
Over the years, with strong commitment and support from its founding bodies, the organization evolved. As part of its repositioning for greater productivity, it metamorphosed in the year 2000 into its current status as CHAN Medi-Pharm Limited by Guarantee.
CHAN Medi-Pharm is responsible for bulk procurement and distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical consumables, as well as the provision of other pharmaceutical management support services such as training in rational drug use, inventory management, and sustainable drug revolving fund schemes. The company has consistently championed the promotion of access to essential medicines and healthcare, particularly for vulnerable populations, while running one of the most robust medical commodity logistics distribution infrastructures in Nigeria.
In addition, CHAN Medi-Pharm has expanded its scope of services to include the provision of Procurement Supply Management (PSM) backbone for various donor-funded healthcare projects in Nigeria, as well as health-related grant management.
