    Richard Valimba

    Senior Technical Advisor

    Richard Valimba is a senior technical advisor and Tanzanian pharmacist who has supported the Accredited Drug Dispensing Outlet (ADDO) program for more than 10 years. He led a successful initiative to combat antimicrobial resistance by increasing ADDO dispensers' awareness of the consequences of misusing antimicrobials and improving their practices as well as educating community members on the importance of using antimicrobials correctly through an outreach campaign. Working with the National TB and Leprosy Program and the Pharmacy Council, Valimba also helped pilot a project that engaged ADDOs and pharmacies in the Dar es Salaam and Morogoro regions in the early identification and referral of presumptive TB cases at the community level. The intervention is now scaling up to 10 additional regions.
