PMG-MAN Urges Government to Boost Local Drug Production
The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Group of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (PMG-MAN) has made a formal request to the Nigerian government to implement stronger policies that would bolster the domestic production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This call comes as part of an ongoing effort to enhance local manufacturing capabilities within the pharmaceutical sector.
The emphasis on local production is aimed at reducing reliance on imported pharmaceuticals and ensuring a more self-sufficient healthcare system in Nigeria. The statement was made by Edward Samuel in Abuja, highlighting the critical need for supportive measures that would facilitate the growth and sustainability of the local pharmaceutical industry.
