Exciting news! Congratulations to @_AfricanUnion Commission and the government of #Rwanda on signing the African Medicine Agency (AMA) Host Agreement. This historic milestone paves the way for a harmonized regulatory system in Africa. Well done to everyone involved! @DrTedros
KEMRI has detected a new mosquito species in Kenya. It’s resistant to locally used insecticides and has the potential to transmit malaria throughout the year, unlike traditional malaria-causing mosquitoes. It is also now present in Djibouti, Nigeria, Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan.
Excellent discussion w/ President of Kenya @WilliamsRuto on the economies of scale offered by the African Continental Free Trade Area.Great opportunity to leverage the market size of Africa for our pharma industry @DrTedros@AUC_MoussaFaki@AfCFTA@PaulKagame
Warmest congratulations to #Rwanda on its selection to host the African Medicines Agency (AMA). I am very confident that #AMA will soon be fully operational under the leadership of @PaulKagame, w/ support of all AU @AUC_MoussaFaki member states and key partners.@LMushikiwabo
