Abstract
Supporting the production of pharmaceuticals in Africa
Highlights
Ethiopia has become a model country for local investment in pharmaceuticals, as advocated by three United Nations agencies[1] and the African Union Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan for Africa.[2]
The demand for safe, effective and affordable medicines is great, but weak local pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity means that Africa largely depends on imported medicines
Local production of quality-assured medicines is a critical strategy in the long term, in view of growing demands, as a way to ensure reliable access to affordable medicines
