Adigwe MedAccess warmly congratulates Dr. Delese Mimi Darko, Chief Executive of Ghana’s Food and Drugs Authority, on her historic appointment as the new Director General of the African Medicines Agency (AMA).

This is not just a well-earned recognition of Dr. Darko’s expertise—it is a powerful signal of Africa’s readiness to elevate regulatory excellence across borders. Her leadership at the Ghana FDA has not only elevated national systems but has created a ripple effect of credibility and trust across the continent.

Reflecting on this milestone, Kanesochukwu Valerie Joe-Adigwe, Founder of Adigwe MedAccess, remarked:

“In a space where regulatory vision often struggles to meet the urgency of healthcare realities, Dr. Darko has proven to be both a strategist and a reformer. Her approach has never been about ticking boxes—it’s been about reshaping systems to truly serve people. This is the kind of leadership the African Medicines Agency needs now more than ever. We are proud to witness this moment, and even prouder to support the work ahead.”

We at Adigwe MedAccess look forward to seeing AMA thrive under her direction and remain committed to advancing equitable, sustainable healthcare access across Africa alongside such visionary leaders.
