African health manufacturers meet in Addis Ababa for AHMTEC 2026, focus shifts from building capacity to commercial scale

These include the Accra Declaration, in which African manufacturers set out their calls to action and commitments on market access, regulatory harmonisation, and coordinated investment, and the African Manufacturing Market Intelligence & Network Analysis (AMMINA) platform, a searchable database of more than 750 health manufacturers and 2,500+ products across 18 countries.

Topics include regulatory harmonisation and the African Medicines Agency, pooled procurement, financing and investment readiness, pricing and procurement policy, diagnostics manufacturing, and active pharmaceutical ingredient development.

The event is hosted by the Federation of African Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations (FAPMA), Vizuri Health Dynamics, and the Ethiopian Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies Manufacturing Industries Sectorial Association (EPMSMISA), in partnership with Health 4 Development.
