Sustainable Medicine in Africa
Dr. Stephen Byrn teaches several times a year in Tanzania, Africa. The "Sustainable Medicine in Africa" program was established by Dr. Byrn, Purdue University College of Pharmacy; Sister Zita Ekeocha and the late Mr. John Chilunda, St. Luke Foundation /Kilimanjaro School of Pharmacy (SLF/KSP) in Tanzania; and Prof. Joseph Fortunak, Howard University. The first course was taught in March 2008.
Purdue’s collaboration with the KSP began when a Nigerian medical missionary, Sister Zita Ekeocha, contacted Dr. Byrn. She ran the industrial Pharmacy teaching unit at the KSP in Tanzania, and wanted the Purdue College of Pharmacy to send someone to install a manufacturing lab, teach good manufacturing practices (GMP), and manufacture medicines. Byrn worked with Howard University, Sister Zita and the Roman Catholic church, the St. Luke Foundation (a Lutheran organization which operates the KSP), the German government (which provides a lot of the funding and laboratory equipment), and the Tanzanian government to develop and run the program, which officially began in March 2008.
For more information or to apply, please email Dr. Stephen Byrn.
