Egypt unveils plan to stabilise pharmaceutical supply
Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population has unveiled a national strategy to strengthen the stability of the domestic pharmaceutical market and enhance emergency pharmacy services across the country.
The Health Ministry spokesperson, Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, said the strategy would focus on maintaining the uninterrupted availability of critical and strategic pharmaceuticals.
Mr Ghaffar said it includes real-time monitoring of drug stocks, strict oversight of production lines, and enforcement measures to prevent unjustified stockpiling.
He said that as part of these reforms, 29 new emergency pharmacy branches had been established across the nation.
The ministry spokesperson added that a revised horizontal distribution model has also been deployed to supply high-demand medicines to 28,000 pharmacies.
While additional service points have been activated, partnerships with private pharmacies have been initiated to improve accessibility and reduce patient congestion.
