Inside NADMACO: How the Nigerian Army Produces Its Own Medicines
Few people know that the Nigerian Army does more than secure the nation. Through its pharmaceutical arm, NADMACO, it manufactures and supplies essential drugs for troops in challenging environments. By relying on its own production lines, the Army cuts dependence on external suppliers. This ensures timely medical support for soldiers on deployment and saves lives during humanitarian missions, where quality healthcare can make the difference between success and failure. NADMACO’s work also benefits civilians during emergencies. Integrating health security into defence strategy helps maintain troop morale and operational readiness, while reinforcing the Army’s role in public health support.
