We couldn't agree more! Complex regulatory processes across #Africa often delay medical products from reaching those that need them most. #SCOMRA2019 @SAHTACtweets @CHReaDKenya @NEPAD_AMRH @WHOAFRO

#SCOMRA2019 Press Conference

Regulatory harmonization in Africa can be achieved through strengthening collaborations between regulatory agencies, national, regional and international partners.

[PATH Advocacy @PATHadvocacy]

Complex regulatory processes across #Africa often delay medical products from reaching those that need them most. That’s why PATH is advocating for regulatory harmonisation at #SCoMRA2019. @NEPAD_AMRH @CHReaDKenya @SAHTACtweets

@NEPAD_Agency head of health Margareth Ndomondo-Sigonda: It’s time for regulators to do our part in terms of information and communication - come up with concept notes and engage your ministries - the tools are there. #scomra2019

[Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe @MCAZofficial]

Gugu Mahlangu - Key considerations for Regional & Continental Collaboration.

1. All concepts & levels of cooperation or integration (regional or continental level) involve an international treaty but also require a high degree of political good will.

[Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe @MCAZofficial]

3. Any chosen model should generate advantages for all participants & interested parties. What advantages are there for member states, manufacturers, patients, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), African Union, partners (financial and technical) etc.

#SCOMRA2019 @NEPAD_AMRH

[Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe @MCAZofficial]

2. Integration succeeds if it is strictly based on the law & if the respect for & reliable implementation of the law is secured by strong institutions & efficient mechanisms of law enforcement & legal protection.
