The anniversary ceremony featured poignant addresses delivered by the esteemed Chairwoman of the Board, Mme Ngarmbatina Sou IV, and M. Sébastien Roux, the Deputy Zone Director for the CFAO Healthcare group.

In her heartfelt remarks, Mme Ngarmbatina began by expressing profound gratitude to the Chadian authorities for their crucial support in Laborex Tchad’s inception and subsequent growth. She extended her appreciation to the company’s financial partners, dedicated pharmacists, pharmaceutical depots, hospital institutions, and all valued clients who have placed their trust in the organization over the years.

“You have chosen Laborex Tchad not merely out of routine, but fundamentally based on confidence. Our core mission is professionalism: ensuring the correct medication reaches the right location, precisely when needed, for every patient nationwide,” she affirmed with conviction.

Visibly moved, she added, “Thirty years is a significant milestone. We envision at least another seventy years of service ahead.”
