Egypt's PM reviews efforts to support local pharmaceutical industry

Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Sunday chaired a meeting to review efforts to support and develop the country's pharmaceutical industry, with the aim of boosting local manufacturing and attracting more foreign investment. The meeting was attended by the Deputy Prime Minister for Human Development and Minister of Health and Population, Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, the Minister of Finance, Ahmed Kouchouk, and the heads of the Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) and the Egyptian Authority for Unified Procurement (UPA). Madbouly affirmed the government's interest in providing all necessary support for the growth and localisation of this vital industry. He noted that Egypt has a long history in pharmaceuticals, with large industrial facilities, and possesses promising advantages for further progress, including a large domestic market and access to nearby regional markets. During the meeting, EDA Chairman Ali El-Ghamrawy presented a report on the state of the industry. He stated that the sector is nationally stable and has achieved significant jumps in local market sales in 2024 compared to 2023, with positive expectations for continued growth in 2025. El-Ghamrawy confirmed that there is a secure level of coverage for various therapeutic groups, including hormones, cardiovascular drugs, oncology products, and corticosteroids. He also assured that there is a safe strategic stock of pharmaceutical raw materials, sufficient for three to six months. The EDA chairman highlighted the growth of foreign companies in the Egyptian market, noting that their sales in 2024 saw a 43% increase compared to 2023. He attributed this progress to several measures taken by the EDA to attract international firms, including monitoring modern and innovative products, a reference-based registration process that reduces approval times from two years to as little as two months, a unified electronic registration system, and support for localisation projects. El-Ghamrawy also noted that the EDA provides about 979 essential regulatory services to support the pharmaceutical industry and has not increased the fees for these services in the past two years.

Egyptian & Turkish FMs Discuss Gaza and Regional Developments

H-Tayea Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatti received a phone call from Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Sunday, as part of ongoing diplomatic coordination and consultations on regional developments. Both ministers praised the remarkable progress in Egyptian-Turkish relations, noting the recent surge in high-level visits and cooperation across multiple sectors. They emphasized the importance of building on this momentum, particularly as the two nations celebrate the centennial of diplomatic relations in 2025. During the call, the ministers reiterated their shared commitment to boosting economic and trade relations, aiming to raise bilateral trade to 15 billion USD. They also welcomed increasing Turkish investments in Egypt, acknowledging the recent reforms Egypt has undertaken to improve the investment climate. The discussion highlighted the outcomes of the first High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council held in September 2024, co-chaired by the Egyptian and Turkish presidents. Regionally, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza took center stage. Minister Abdelatti briefed his Turkish counterpart on Egypt's coordination with Qatar and the United States to resume a ceasefire and facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian, medical, and shelter aid to the besieged population. He emphasized the need to increase the number of aid trucks, while both ministers condemned the deliberate starvation policy currently affecting Gaza. The two sides agreed on the urgent need for joint action with international stakeholders to end the ongoing Israeli aggression, achieve a deal for the release of hostages, and push back against violations of international law and humanitarian norms. They underscored the importance of applying pressure on both parties involved in the conflict to reach an immediate ceasefire. The call also addressed wider regional developments, including the latest situations in Syria and Libya, where both Egypt and Turkey remain actively engaged. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
