International Conference on Local Pharmaceutical Production in Africa

The foundation of this platform was laid at a conference on local pharmaceutical production in Africa in April 2011 in Cape Town, South Africa.

The conference provided a platform for an in-depth exchange among African countries and beyond on the key issues surrounding local pharmaceutical production at enterprise level, embedded in a national, regional and global context. It included topics such as production, financing, quality, technology transfer as well as the use of TRIPS flexibilities and the harmonization of drug regulation. Besides, the South African Generics Manufacturers Association was founded on this conference.
