UbiPharm Burkina: 30 Years of Growth in Service of Health in Burkina Faso 01 | 01
On June 14, 2025, UbiPharm Burkina celebrated its 30 years of commitment to health in Ouagadougou, marking a major milestone in its journey within the UbiPharm network. This commemoration brought together many key players from the pharmaceutical sector, highlighting the recognition of a key actor in national healthcare development.
Founded in 1994, UbiPharm Burkina is the Group’s third subsidiary. Since its inception, it has pursued a path of sustainable growth, with the ambition of ensuring equitable and secure access to medicines across the entire territory of Burkina Faso. This ambition has been realized through the establishment of a dedicated supply chain, supporting the growth of pharmacies and reinforcing proximity with the population.
In her speech, Ms. Diénéba Diallo, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of UbiPharm Burkina, praised the founding vision of the project: a participatory governance model centered on empowering Burkinabe pharmacists—true partners in the subsidiary’s development. This approach remains today a strategic lever of the Group.
Mr. Amani Franck Stéphane, Managing Director of the Burkinabe subsidiary, emphasized that the future of UbiPharm Burkina relies on its ability to innovate and anticipate transformations in the sector. Among the current challenges: servicing rural areas, optimizing logistics and shortages, and continuously adapting the offer to local economic realities—without compromising on quality.
These strategic directions are shared by health authorities, represented by Mr. Zakariya Yabré from the Ministry of Health, who acknowledged UbiPharm’s structuring contribution to the national system. He encouraged the company to continue its efforts in addressing emerging diseases and to remain a driving force in transforming the pharmaceutical landscape.
The ceremony was also an opportunity to honor emblematic staff members: Mr. Boukary Dao, former Chairman of the Board; Mr. Abdoul Moumouni Issa, delivery driver; and Mr. Ousseni Soré, debt collection officer. Their loyalty, collective commitment, and exemplary conduct reflect the UbiPharm spirit: a humane and supportive company powered by the strength of its teams.
UbiPharm Burkina exemplifies a committed, united, and influential network, dedicated to the health of African populations.
Congratulations to all teams for 30 years of progress.
