Laborex Tchad, a prominent subsidiary of the CFAO Healthcare group, recently marked its thirtieth anniversary as a leading force in pharmaceutical distribution across Chad. A warm and celebratory event on Thursday, May 28, honored the remarkable journey of a company that has become indispensable in ensuring the supply of essential medicines and medical devices throughout the nation.
Established in 1996, Laborex Tchad has consistently supported the national health system for three decades. The company is dedicated to providing high-quality pharmaceutical products to pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and health centers nationwide, serving key urban centers such as N’Djamena, Moundou, Sarh, Abéché, Bongor, and numerous other localities.
The commemorative ceremony featured insightful speeches from the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, Mme Ngarmbatina Sou IV, and M. Sébastien Roux, Deputy Zone Director for the CFAO Healthcare group.
During her address, Mme Ngarmbatina began by acknowledging the Chadian authorities for their crucial support in the establishment and growth of Laborex Tchad. She then extended her appreciation to the financial partners, pharmacists, pharmaceutical depots, hospital facilities, and all clients who have placed their trust in the company’s services.
“You have chosen Laborex Tchad not merely out of habit, but based on unwavering trust. Professionalism defines our mission: to ensure the right medication reaches the right place, at the right time, for every patient across the national territory,” she emphasized.
Visibly moved, she added, “Thirty years is a significant milestone. We envision at least 70 more years ahead of us.”
M. Sébastien Roux, for his part, reflected on his 24-year tenure within the CFAO group, commending Laborex Tchad as a testament to human endeavor. He paid tribute to former leaders, notably Mme Maria Mion Calvet, and applauded the current dynamic leadership under Director General Mme Tignocqua.
“Laborex is a company with a rich history, yet it remains vibrant and youthful thanks to the dedication of all its human resources,” he asserted.
Furthermore, he extended gratitude to the Ministry of Public Health for its close collaboration, as well as to partner laboratories, banking institutions, and the entire staff for their unwavering daily commitment.
“It is thanks to the collective efforts of everyone involved that we consistently achieve a reliable supply of pharmaceutical products across the country,” he declared.
The ceremony concluded on a festive note, with the vibrant rhythms of the balafon, a traditional instrument, leaving a lasting impression on all attendees.
