Egypt is working with Arab Company for Drug Industries and Medical Appliances (ACDIMA) to expand pharmaceutical production and open new export markets, Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar said on Sunday. At a meeting in New Alamein City attended by ministers and ACDIMA executives, Minister Abdel Ghaffar highlighted plans to boost investment in drug manufacturing, strengthen self-sufficiency in essential medicines, and scale up exports to regional and international markets, the health ministry said in a statement. The talks also reviewed ACDIMA's financial performance, expansion in biological medicines, and contracts with global companies to manufacture pharmaceutical products locally. Minister Abdel Ghaffar stressed that greater collaboration with ACDIMA would enhance Egypt's capacity in the sector and reinforce the country's position as a regional hub for pharmaceuticals.
