One of my key leadership priorities for @Pfizer and @IFPMA is advancing access to medicines and helping to create resilient healthcare systems across Africa. So I’m pleased to share that that the pharmaceutical industry and the African Continental Free Trade Area (@AfCFTA) are creating a high-level working group to develop solutions for problems uniquely impacting the Continent.
This special group brings together AfCFTA, policymakers and the private sector to advance and implement policies that support regional value chains, including helping to secure supply chains across borders to ensure the safe and uninterrupted flow of medicines and vaccines. Our goal is to make measurable progress toward the goal of delivering quality healthcare to patients who need it—wherever they are. https://t.co/QWoqwoSZzC
