📋 PCN Recertification Audit Update - Day 2

Today, December 10, 2024, was the successful conclusion of Day 2 of our ISO 9001:2015 recertification audit. The process wrapped up with a productive closing meeting, where key findings were discussed and noted.

This thorough audit ensures that PCN continues to uphold the highest standards in quality management. We strive to maintain excellence and continuously improve in all our operations.

We appreciate your support as we continue to uphold the highest standards in quality. Thank you for staying engaged with our progress.

The Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN) proudly attained ISO 9001:2015 Certification in January 2022, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to continuous quality improvement.

Being ISO 9001:2015 certified means that we have implemented a quality management system (QMS) that meets the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 standard. This certification underscores our ability to consistently provide products and services that meet both stakeholder and regulatory requirements.

As this certification is valid for a period of three years, PCN is currently undergoing a recertification audit to maintain our standards of excellence. The recertification process began yesterday, December 09, 2024, and is essential to ensure that we continue to meet and exceed the required standards.

The recertification audit continues today.
