Abu Dhabi: A total of 6,176 generic medicines are currently available in the UAE, the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) announced on Monday.
In addition, a total of 16 factories are operating at present, along with three other factories working with intravenous fluids, laboratories and medical supplies. “Such numbers clearly reflect the flexible and attractive legislation and investment environment, and the availability of experiences, research capabilities, initiatives, and incentives that help establish competitive medical and pharmaceutical industries,” the MoHAP said in a statement.
Self-sufficiency
“The provision of generic drugs enables patients to receive appropriate and affordable treatment, owing to the lower costs of these medicines by 60 per cent compared to the originally branded medicines,” said Dr. Amin Hussein Al Amiri, assistant undersecretary at the MoHAP’s Public Health Policy and Licenses division.
