Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>The East African Community (EAC) has convened a two-day workshop with the objective of validating a draft study report on investment incentives for antibiotic production in the region.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the opening of the meeting, the EAC Director of Productive Sectors midweek, Jean Baptiste Havugimana, said that the pharmaceutical sector was one of the priority areas for the EAC according to the EAC Industrialization Policy.<\/p>\n

In this regard, Mr Havugimana said that the region aspired to develop the pharmaceutical industry as part of the region\u2019s social and political integration agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a region we recognize the strategic importance of developing local production of pharmaceutical products in promoting access to affordable, high quality, essential medicines; an aspiration we pursue through the implementation of the EAC Regional Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan of Action,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Director observed that there was still a high dependency on imported pharmaceutical products across the region, while local firms lack capacity to manufacture advance formulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the EAC Partner States import between 70 to 90 percent of the medicines that the region\u2019s population consumes. There is need for Partner States to develop a harmonized regional list of essential medicine and medical devices that can be manufactured and procured from the region to promote local pharmaceutical sector,\u201d added Mr Havigumana.<\/p>\n

The meeting is also set to consider the recommendations of the study report on supply and production of antibiotics within the context of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and propose priority actions for the EAC-UNCTAD project on Antibiotics.<\/p>\n

In 2020, UNCTAD and the WHO teamed up on a three-year project to help build the needed partnerships and guide governments on the policies needed in the EAC.<\/p>\n

The project is expected to help align local production of antibiotics in the EAC with the regional public health needs as well as to increase currently undersupplied antibiotics while reducing excess supplies of those causing antibiotic resistance in patients.<\/p>\n
