About AfriHealth Metrics™
AfriHealth Metrics™ is an independent healthcare performance intelligence organisation building Africa’s first standardised system for assessing, measuring and benchmarking healthcare facilities across the continent. Our flagship methodology, the Facility Readiness and Performance Index™ (FRPI™), evaluates facilities across 120 indicators spanning 10 performance domains, producing composite scores and facility-level assessments that are comparable across facility types, ownership models and geographic contexts, from primary health centres in Kibera, Kenya to tertiary private hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria. We serve governments that need evidence to plan and invest, health insurers building credible provider networks, development partners and investors seeking independent verification of facility readiness, and the healthcare providers themselves, who deserve a clear, external measure of where they stand and a precise path toward improvement. We are not measuring African healthcare through a borrowed lens. We are building the tools this continent deserves from the ground up.
Job Title: Adhoc Assessor — Pharmacist
Location: Lagos ,Ekiti,FCT Abuja, Niger, Zamfara, Sokoto ,Kebbi, Jigawa, Bauchi, Adamawa, Enugu, Rivers.
The FRPI™ assesses healthcare facilities across six instrument types covering Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary facilities in both the public and private sectors. Assessments are conducted by trained, multi-professional teams whose combined expertise covers every domain of the framework, from clinical services and pharmacy management to laboratory quality, biomedical equipment, and health data systems.
The Pharmacist Assessor is the medicines and supply chain specialist of the FRPI™ assessment team. You will evaluate pharmacy services, drug management, supply chain integrity, and regulatory compliance across the facility. In Nigeria’s healthcare facilities, medicines management is one of the most consistently deficient domains, and your expertise is essential to the credibility and completeness of every assessment.
As an FRPI™ Pharmacist Assessor, you will evaluate the following areas during facility visits. Specific assessment items vary by facility type (Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary) and ownership (public or private).
- Evaluate pharmacy management systems across the facility, including medicines procurement processes, stock management practices, inventory documentation, and compliance with good pharmacy practice standards.
- Assess essential medicines availability against Nigeria’s National Essential Medicines List, verifying that critical medicines are present, appropriately stored, within their expiry dates, and accessible to clinical teams.
- Review drug storage standards across all storage areas, including temperature control compliance, cold chain integrity, appropriate segregation of medicines by category, and adequacy of storage conditions.
- Evaluate dispensing quality and pharmacy service delivery, including prescription accuracy, patient counselling practices, labelling standards, and the completeness of dispensing documentation.
- Assess controlled substances management, including storage security, register maintenance, reconciliation records, and compliance with NAFDAC regulations and the Dangerous Drugs Act.
- Review pharmaceutical supply chain documentation, including procurement records, supplier verification practices, good distribution practice compliance, and stock movement records.
- Assess vaccine and immunisation commodity management at facilities offering EPI services, including cold chain equipment functionality, temperature monitoring records, and vaccine wastage documentation.
- Lead documentation of the pharmacy and medicines supply chain domain during facility assessments, ensuring all evidence is photographed, findings are recorded accurately on the assessment instrument, and any critical medicines deficiencies are clearly flagged during the team debrief.
