Our Story
Adepa Pharmacy was born from a deeply personal journey rooted in love, loss, and a commitment to making a difference in the world of healthcare. The name "Adepa" holds special significance for us—it is the Akan name of our founder's mother, meaning "something good." This name also resonates with the Akan proverb, "Adepa na etow ne ho," which translates to "A good thing sells itself." These words encapsulate the essence of our mission: to offer only the best, trusted products to our customers.
Our founder's path to establishing Adepa Pharmacy began when she was just 13 years old. A heartbreaking event at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, where her newborn cousin passed away due to a malfunctioning plaster that failed to secure the baby’s breathing tube, left her feeling helpless. This tragedy ignited a passion within her to ensure that no one else would suffer from the lack of quality medical supplies. Determined to make a change, she pursued her education in Pharmacy in the USA, focusing on the supply of high-quality pharmaceutical products.
Years later, another personal experience further shaped her vision. Her beloved grandmother, who had been bedridden with a stroke, was nearing the end of her life. The elderly woman's only request was for Depend diapers, which provided her with comfort and protected her from bedsores. This simple, yet profound, need underscored the importance of reliable healthcare products. It was the catalyst that drove our founder to return to Ghana and establish her own pharmaceutical company.
In Ghana, the consequences of failed medical devices or substandard medicines can be devastating, leading to unnecessary suffering and loss of life. Adepa Pharmacy was founded to address this critical need, bridging the gap by providing premium-quality, affordable health products that help our customers feel better and live longer. Our story is one of resilience, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
