Egypt delivers 1st pharmaceuticals shipment to Zimbabwe

Egypt delivered its first shipment of pharmaceuticals manufactured by local firms to Zimbabwe, the Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) announced on Tuesday.

This is part of the framework of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the EDA and the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) in May.

The MoU allows the MCAZ to rely on the EDA’s procedures in the pharmaceuticals sector as a reference point.

It also aims to facilitate Egyptian pharmaceuticals’ access to the Zimbabwean market.
