The Amazing Adebayo Alonge’s RxAll Vision to Eliminate Fake Drugs in Nigeria

By Nnamdi Odumody

Around one, in every eight essential medicines, in lower income countries, may be of low quality or an outright fake. Substandard and fake drugs, don’t just fail to treat disease, they can prolong illness, heighten the risk of treatment failure, poisoning, and severe drug interactions. The implication is monumental risk to life. Also, fake drugs can contribute to antimicrobial resistance, posing a threat to the effectiveness of future treatments.

A near death experience, after consumption of fake drug 15 years ago in Ibadan, prompted Adebayo Alonge to embark on a mission, aimed at preventing loss of lives, due to fake drugs. Deaths attributed to fake drugs are common experiences in Nigeria and other developing countries. Adebayo, on his mission, studied Pharmacy at the University of Ibadan, emerging the best graduating student. Over the years, he has gathered experiences in business, developing projects worth over $180 million in consulting, pharmaceuticals and technology startups before founding RxAll with Amy Kao and Wei Liu in 2016. The technical capability and business exposure will certainly cushion him to build a category-king business in this domain. Nigeria cannot wait!
