[Vacancy] Medical Sales Representative at Codix Pharma Limited

About Codix Pharma Limited:

Codix Pharma Limited is a rapidly expanding pharmaceutical company with offices in Lagos, Nigeria, and London, UK. Our primary objective is to become the leading provider of cardio-metabolic care (diabetes, hypertension, and CHD) in Nigeria. We aim to achieve this by educating patients, introducing innovative and affordable products (medicines and monitoring devices), and cultivating a modern sales team. With over 25 years of combined experience in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in sales and marketing of cardio-metabolic therapies (diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular), our Directors possess extensive knowledge from their roles in multinational pharmaceutical companies both in the United Kingdom and locally. We feel a strong obligation to contribute to the enhancement of our nation’s health, particularly in the areas of diabetes, hypertension, and heart diseases. As part of our commitment to diabetes treatment and control in Nigeria, we actively seek Public-Private Partnerships with government entities to effectively manage and control diabetes. Diabetes is a growing global concern, with a significant number of undiagnosed patients for every known diagnosed diabetic patient. Developing countries are projected to experience a 170% increase in cases. Since our establishment in 2004, we have been dedicated to developing our diabetes portfolio, which includes Glucodix (metformin HCL), FineTest Meter (Blood Glucose Meter), FineTest Strips, Lancet Needles, and Clover A1c (HbA1c machine). Hypertension commonly coexists with diabetes and poses a significant threat to the cardiovascular system. The risk of strokes, myocardial infarctions, heart failure, and renal failure increases in diabetic patients with hypertension. According to the 7th Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation & Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) guidelines, 20%-25% of Nigerians would be classified as hypertensive.
