Side events for the seventh Session of the African Regional Forum for Sustainable Development (ARFSD) kicked off virtually on Thursday with the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) hosting one on the African Continental Free Trade Area-anchored Pharmaceutical Initiative focusing on lessons learnt and experiences in the continent’s quest to manufacture and meet its own pharmaceutical needs.
The initiative was launched in November 2019 with the aim of improving the accessibility, quality, and safety of medicines and medical products in Africa. The side event was moderated by the Chief of the Regional Integration Section at the ECA, Mr. Francis Ikome, who underlined that “we cannot aspire to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2063 if the population of Africa is unhealthy.”
