In a landmark moment for Ghana’s healthcare sector, Unichem Ghana Group was proudly awarded the Excellence in Wholesale & Distribution Award at the maiden edition of the Pharma Excellence Awards, hosted by the Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana (PSGH) at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra.

But for Unichem, this isn't just another accolade — it is the recognition of a journey deeply rooted in legacy, sacrifice, and service.

It all began over six decades ago when the late and great Dr. H.D. Mohan, armed with nothing but a vision and a heart to heal lives and touch souls, laid the foundation of what would become one of West Africa’s most respected pharmaceutical networks.

From humble beginnings, UNICHEM has grown into the gateway for global pharmaceutical giants such as Boots, Pfizer, Sanofi, Wallace, Walter Ritter, and others, ushering them into Africa and transforming access to healthcare across the region.

Speaking at the ceremony to the press, third-generation leader & Director of UNICHEM GROUP, Mr Jason Nana Yaw Mohan shared: “We are deeply humbled by this honour. This award is a tribute to the trust of the people, the relentless dedication of our team, and the power of collaboration across the pharmaceutical ecosystem — from suppliers and regulators to pharmacists and patients. Thank you, PSGH. We will continue to serve with integrity, grow with humility, and deliver with purpose.”

Unichem is not only a trusted wholesale distributor — it is a rising force in local manufacturing, product innovation, and regional cooperation. With its state-of-the-art facility in Accra, Unichem Industries now manufactures a growing range of medicines under license from LUEX Healthcare (UK), a strategic partnership that has redefined what is possible for African Pharma.

The LUEX portfolio is rapidly establishing itself as a household name across Africa, built on a reputation for quality, safety, and effectiveness. Flagship products such as WORMBAT, Ghana’s trusted dewormer for the whole family, DICLOLEX, the market leader for effective pain relief, and LUEX Cough Syrup, a preferred remedy for fast and dependable relief from coughs and colds for the whole family, are not merely pharmaceuticals — they are symbols of local trust with Global quality.

The Pharma Excellence Awards, organised by PSGH, celebrated professionals and institutions that are shaping the future of Ghana’s healthcare through innovation, ethics, and impact. Honourable Minister for Health, Mr. Kwabena Mintah-Akandoh, applauded the PSGH for championing local pharmaceutical resilience, while Dr. Samuel Kow Donkoh, President of PSGH, described the event as a watershed moment for recognising the often-unseen forces driving national health.

As Unichem looks ahead, its vision is clear — to continue building a future where African-led pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution becomes the new gold standard.

In a continent where access still defines survival, Unichem and LUEX are proving that with consistency, collaboration, and conviction, Africa can do more than heal — Africa can lead.
