Introduction to Discussion
To strengthen health security in Africa, there must be an agenda to develop a sustainable local manufacturing industry on the African continent. This will not only increase access to life-saving health products and reduce reliance on other regions but also be a much-needed safety-net when other health crises strike.
Featuring panel discussions and open forums, this event provided a platform for participants to delve into pragmatic and actionable strategies for scaling up manufacturing capacity within the continent.
Key Objectives of the Discussion:
To stimulate dialogue on policy frameworks, investment opportunities, and regulatory environments that can drive the growth of a robust public health manufacturing sector in Africa.
To generate a roadmap for sustainable growth in the public health manufacturing sector, ensuring Africa’s readiness to face current and emerging health challenges.
To highlight concrete initiatives that will bridge the gap between healthcare needs and manufacturing capacities in Africa.
