The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has secured a €300,000 grant for a consortium aimed at developing a locally manufactured herbal pain relief medicine. The PharmaVax Ghana Programme, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union (EU), supports the two-year project led by the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at KNUST.
The consortium, which includes Aspee Pharmaceuticals and the Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute (BNARI) of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), will transform the herbal remedy into a sustained-release tablet formulation suitable for large-scale production. This development aims to address challenges such as limited availability of the medicinal plant and impractical dosage forms, improving treatment adherence and convenience for long-term use.
