Developing Africa’s pharmaceutical sector crucial, says ECA’s Soteri
There is an urgent need to develop the pharmaceutical sector in Africa to reduce the continent’s dependence on imported pharmaceutical and medical products, says Economic Commission for Africa’s Soteri Gatera. The workshop sought to validate an ECA report titled; “Review of Policies and Strategies for the Pharmaceutical Production Sector in Africa: Policy coherence, best practices and future prospective” in which policies and strategies for the pharmaceutical sector in Africa are reviewed with a view to assess the level of policy coherence, capturing best practices and painting future prospects for the sector. The report provides an overview of the status of pharmaceutical production in Africa and identifies levels and quality of production on the continent.
