With a booming demand on drugs and medicine expected to raise up to US $40 billion as early as 2020, Africa's pharmaceutical prospects are attracting a lot of interest from private investors around the world. A number of Africans with significant disposable income and spending power, strong demographic dynamics, including fast urbanization, steady economic growth in most parts of the continent, improved infrastructure in both rural and urban areas are the drivers of Africa's pharmaceutical boom. The pharmaceuticals industry development is also very high on the agenda of African countries, which are developing continental and regional strategies on the local production of drugs.
A platform between the public and private sectors, the 1st Africa Pharmaceutical Summit will address a wide range of issues such as regulatory frameworks and protection of the poor against exorbitant cost of drugs, greater policy coherence between industrial policy and public health, as well as job creation prospects. By joining the Africa Pharmaceutical Summit, business leaders will get a unique opportunity to dialogue with policy-makers on those developments in order to understand better how to evolve their operating strategy.
Participants to the Africa Pharmaceutical Summit will gain knowledge and insights from Africa's leading pharmaceutical experts, organisations and government officials. High level policy-makers, Ministers of Health, Industry & Trade and Finance, CEOs, experts from pharmaceuticals manufacturers, universities, institutions and organizations will debate the future of Africa's pharmaceuticals industry.
Come join the discussions about the development of the pharmaceutical industry on the continent, harnessing the potential of Africa's emerging markets, business linkages and financing. The Africa Pharmaceutical Summit will be the first attempt in Africa to gather all stakeholders in order to identify the continent's strengths and weaknesses and the required actions to foster pharmaceutical sector development.
