Based on the understood need of the church pharmaceutical sector, the expertise within EPN and informed by the experience of supporting church pharmaceutical systems for almost three decades, EPN has set up 4 priority areas. In addressing these priority areas with specific programmes, EPN seeks to promote approaches that address strengthening of the health system as a whole.

The four programmes are:

• Access to and rational use of medicines
• HIV and AIDS care and treatment
• Professionalization of pharmaceutical services
• Pharmaceutical information sharing
