About Messai B.

I’m a Global Health Pharmacist with over 14 years of experience, including nearly a decade advancing access to quality-assured medicines in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). My expertise spans strategic advisory, regulatory and quality assurance, medical supply chain management, and market access and product introduction—gained through technical leadership roles in donor-funded programs at USAID and several field missions with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).At USAID, I led technical initiatives under both the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) and PEPFAR, supporting market access and product optimization for next-generation HIV and malaria treatments. I’ve worked with manufacturers, global donors and partners, and country governments—to improve medical supply management, support product lifecycle optimization, strengthen pharmaceutical and regulatory systems, advance regional manufacturing efforts and shape sustainable and resilient supply markets.Fluent in English, French, and Amharic, I bring a cross-cultural, stakeholder-driven approach to every project- focused on aligning global strategy with local realities to achieve equitable, lasting health impact.
