Leading the Fight
Against Malaria
At Pharmakina,
we envision a world where no life is lost to malaria. From the heart of Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we transform the bark of the cinchona tree into life-saving treatments.
With deep scientific expertise, sustainable farming, and strong community partnerships, every product we manufacture serves a greater mission: protecting health, empowering communities, and ensuring that no life is lost to malaria.
While our core mission is centered on malaria treatment, Pharmakina’s quinine also meets the highest global standards for pharmaceutical and beverage industries.
Beverage manufacturers worldwide trust Pharmakina for premium-grade quinine used in tonic water, bitter lemon, and specialty drinks — knowing that every purchase supports local farmers, ethical sourcing, and sustainable economic growth in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Join the Fight Against Malaria
Malaria remains one of the world’s most urgent public health challenges —
and Africa carries the heaviest burden.
For more than 80 years, Pharmakina has been part of the solution,
ensuring access to life-saving treatments where they are needed most.
From local cinchona cultivation to medicines for severe malaria,
we believe resilience starts with local production,
medical continuity, and responsibility to communities.
Combat la Malaria is not a slogan.
It is a long-term commitment.
