Health Products Manufacturing Policy Study Tour Gives Africa a Strategic Boost

Africa CDC’s Platform for Harmonized Health Products Manufacturing (PHAHM), in collaboration with the Team Europe Support Structure (TESS) MAV+, organised a Study Tour on Policy Frameworks for Health Products Manufacturing to Europe in April.

From analysing the policy mechanisms, regulatory environments, and frameworks that sustain and enhance the health products manufacturing ecosystem, participants gained a more comprehensive perspective on the interplay between manufacturing and governance—one of the eye-opening lessons ushered in by the tour.

More than 20 representatives from African Union (AU) Member States, Regional Economic Communities, African Union organs, Africa CDC, AUDA-NEPAD, the African Medicines Agency, and the African Union Commission were among the participants.
