The occasion was also used to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the company.<\/p>\n

Ms Shooter, a final-year student of the University of Ghana Medical School, Korle Bu, said she had a strong conviction that Ghana would be able to harness its world renowned human resource, quality natural resources and friendly business environment to position it as a very good country for others to import goods and services from.<\/p>\n

Tax Rebate<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chief Executive of Pharmanova, Mr Dhananjay Tripathi, said the company, which started operations a decade ago, was growing exponentially, supplying quality medicines to the Ministry of Health, members of the public and the sub-regional market.<\/p>\n

Mr Tripathi commended the government for introducing tax rebate in the pharmaceutical industry, stressing that it had provided great relief for local industries.<\/p>\n

He also described the industry in Ghana as a sector with a great potential to build the economy, especially when one considers its strong regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA).<\/p>\n
