E-drug: Preferential Treatment of Local Manufacturers
---------------------------------------------
Dear E-druggers
In Uganda, as one of the many objectives of the National Drug Policy we are
committed to encouraging the local manufacture of essential drugs where this
is economically and technically feasible and sustainable and where good
quality can be assured.
We would greatly appreciate any guidance on government incentives for local
manufacturers such as preferential treatment in bidding for public-sector
supply contracts, removal/reduction of import duties on raw materials, etc.
especially where these have been successfully applied and particularly
within the African regional context.
Thank you
