Who We Are
CMCOMMS Supply Chain Quality Assurance is an African-led organisation established in 2011 to strengthen the integrity of pharmaceutical and health supply chains across the continent.
Our work is grounded in a simple but critical principle:
no African should bear the consequences of a system that failed to uphold the quality they deserve.
Across Africa, medical products move through complex, high-risk environments — from API sourcing and manufacturing to importation, storage, distribution, dispensing and rational use. At every stage, gaps in Good Practices expose health systems to quality failures and the growing threat of substandard and falsified medical products.
CMCOMMS exists to close those gaps.
We support organisations to design, document and correctly implement practical, usable and sustainable Quality Assurance systems, aligned with global standards and grounded in the realities of African operations.
