Algiers, November 28, 2025 – Participants at the African Ministerial Conference on Local Pharmaceutical Production and Health Technologies have lauded Algeria’s leading role in driving the continent towards health sovereignty. The conference, held this week in Algiers, underscored the nation’s commitment to fostering collaboration and growth within the pharmaceutical industry across Africa.
Attendees emphasized Algeria’s proactive approach to strengthening its domestic pharmaceutical sector, positioning it as a key player in reducing reliance on external sources for essential medicines and healthcare technologies. This strategic focus, they noted, serves as a model for other African nations seeking to enhance their own capabilities and achieve greater self-sufficiency in healthcare.
“Algeria’s dedication to developing its pharmaceutical industry is truly commendable,” stated one delegate from a West African nation. “Their commitment to innovation and local production sets a high standard for the rest of the continent.”
The conference served as a platform for discussions on various aspects of pharmaceutical development, including technology transfer, regulatory harmonization, and investment opportunities. Participants explored avenues for closer collaboration between African countries to address common challenges and leverage collective strengths in the pursuit of health sovereignty.
Algeria’s efforts to promote local pharmaceutical production align with the African Union’s broader agenda of strengthening health systems and improving access to quality healthcare for all citizens. By championing this cause, Algeria is playing a vital role in shaping a healthier and more resilient future for the continent.
