The Director General of the National Industrial Research and Development Agency (NIRDA), Dr. Christian Sekomo Birame has commended the efforts of Bold Regains Life Care Industry Limited to set up herbal medicines manufacturing plant in Rwanda.
He made the appreciation on Tuesday 8th March 2022 as he visited offices of Bold Regains Life Care Industry Limited which currently retails nutraceuticals produced by Life Care Phyto Labs-India. The latter belongs to Indian herbalist, Dr. Rajendran Aanaimuthu.
The visit was meant to assess preparations to launch the plant expected to produce herbal medicines locally.
Recently on 2nd March 2022, NIRDA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bold Regains Life Care Industry Limited aimed at expediting preparations to set up the plant in Rwanda.
The MoU incorporates clauses that NIRDA shall provide more than 150 hectares suitable for growth of medicinal plants to ensure smooth supply chain of raw products with uncompromised quality.
Among others, Bold Regains Life Care Industry Limited will receive some of NIRDA’S equipment that were previously used at its medicinal plants’ laboratory in Huye district.
The Director General of NIRDA, Dr. Birame revealed that the visit was aimed at getting firsthand information on preparations.
“Today, we have come to reinforce the partnership signed with Bold Regain in terms of fast tracking the implementation of signed agreement under this project to produce herbal medicines in Rwanda,” he said.
Dr. Birame hailed the company’s activities and reassured support to ongoing preparations to set up the plant in the near future.
“This project was appreciated very much because it aligns with Government’s ambitions to create new jobs. Apart from creation of jobs and imparting technical skills, it is our responsibility to support industrial development,” he noted.
The CEO of Bold Regains International, Dr. Francis Habumugisha has said that the visit is a great encouragement to ongoing efforts. He disclosed the company is fast tracking preparations as much as possible to have the plant operational in the near future.
Once the plant is operational, Bold Regains Life Care Industry Limited targets local and foreign clientele.
