Universal Corporation Limited sits on the outskirts of Nairobi — a two-decade-old pharmaceutical manufacturing factory that produces over 100 formulations of human medicines, such as antibiotics, and drugs for malaria and HIV.
It’s the only World Health Organization-prequalified facility in Kenya. And recently, it became the first manufacturer in Africa to receive WHO approval to produce the antimalarial drug, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine.
The company operates in about 22 African nations.
