Dr Jean Widdowson

BPharm, PhD, MRPharmS

Jean has been a Trustee since 2008. Experience in Pharmacy and Medical Microbiology enables her to play a vital part in ensuring the quality of our medical supplies. In her additional role as Responsible Person, she has since 2013, helped Inter Care to retain a Wholesalers Dealers License (WDA[H]), by ensuring that medicines are procured, handled, and distributed according to Good Distribution Practice. Jean is acutely aware that our aid must be fit for purpose, and has travelled in Africa, constantly updating her knowledge of national public health strategies and assessment of the needs and level of expertise at the health units. She strongly believes that Inter Care’s sustainability lies in our close links with our African partners and our ability to adapt to their changing needs, without compromising their self-sufficiency.
