Congratulations to @AU_AMA_ on successfully hosting the inaugural #AMAWeek. Hundreds of delegates flew in from 50+ countries to attend this landmark event. I enjoyed every moment of hosting the Official Opening. The future of #Africa’s regulatory harmonisation looks promising.

Congratulations to AMA Director-General @mimi_darko on a milestone AMA Week in #Kigali. More than 50 countries came together, and we launched seven technical committees bringing experts from across Africa together, alongside two Hubs. This is continental commitment in action—building stronger regulation and faster access to quality medicines. @AU_AMA_ @NEPAD_Agency @AU_HHS @DrTedros

Highlights from the Inaugural #AMAWeek in Kigali Africa carries about a quarter of the disease burden & makes about 3% of medicines (25% of the global disease burden, 3% of global medicines manufacturing, & only 1% of the vaccines Africa consumes are made on the continent). 1/5

No single regulator can address Africa’s health product challenges alone. At #AMAWeek in Kigali, SAHPRA CEO Dr @Tumisemete emphasised the value of regulatory collaboration across the continent. @AU_AMA_ offers an opportunity to strengthen regulatory systems, reduce duplication and support timely access to safe, quality-assured medicines—so patients can benefit from stronger safeguards and improved access to essential health products.

In her keynote, @SAHPRA1 CEO Dr Boitumelo Semete Makokotlela outlined how reliance became a route to access during the pandemic and beyond. She also shared a set of questions to guide the conversation over the next few days including : 1. Do we share a common understanding of reliance? Does have the same understanding of “sameness”? 2. Are regulators able to get full access to dossiers and reports they rely on? 3. How are the 10 ML3 countries progressing in relying on each other?

Africa’s health security depends on strong, agile and collaborative regulatory systems. At the #AMAWeek in Kigali, SAHPRA CEO Dr @Tumisemete highlighted the importance of strengthening medicines regulation to safeguard patients and support timely access to safe, quality and effective health products. Through the African Medicines Agency, regulatory collaboration can help patients benefit from more consistent oversight, faster regulatory processes and greater access to quality-assured medical products.

Thank you so much @DrTedros for your special message on the occasion of our inaugural #AMAWeek & for @WHO's continued support towards @AU_AMA_ . Indeed, every additional ratification makes AMA stronger.

@DrTedros

As we mark the first African Medicines Agency (AMA) Week, I urge all remaining countries to ratify its treaty, and Member States and partners to provide sustained political and financial support. A strong AMA means faster access to safe, effective and quality-assured health products, and stronger African health security. @WHO remains committed to supporting AMA and building a healthier, safer and fairer Africa.
