The entire Event - Exhibition and Pharma Conference was nicely organized with good quality of Exhibitors. The exhibit products and the Pharma Conference were highly informative for the participants. This Exhibition – 7th EAST AFRICA PHARMA EXPO 2023 brings in huge investments in pharma medicine manufacturing, packaging materials and project. The Show was a grand success, and we need to see that we double our capacity double in coming years because the pharmaceutical products in Africa is highly needed, as currently Africa is importing approx. 97% and currently only 3% is getting manufactured locally. Therefor we need to bring in more players and more investments.

This Exhibition will offer great opportunities for trade collaborations, technology transfer and investments in the pharmaceutical industry. Let us discuss and share the strengths and innovations and at the same time let us not forget the reliance and recognition of the Drug Regulators, as well. The interactive sessions at the Pharma Conference will discuss the critical issues of the pharma manufacturing for the empowerment of the local manufacturing towards making Kenya a pharma manufacturing hub. The objective is to promote the local pharma manufacturing, improving the infrastructure, innovations in technologies and use of local pharma products. The EASTA FRICA PHARMA EXPO 2023 - Exhibition and Pharma Conference are the perfect platform to empower the local pharma manufacturing.

I am honored to be a part of the 7th EAST AFRICA PHARMA EXPO 2023 since it has brought strongest Drug Regulators – PPB (Kenya), NDA (Uganda) and TMDA (Tanzania) with the local pharma manufacturers and pharma fraternity of Kenya and the East Africa Community (EAC) at one common platform. This forum can bring in the API and Excipient manufacturers in EAC to initiate their manufacturing facilities. I can see the improvements in the pharma manufacturing plants in Kenya, which is very much significant.

This is my first visit to the Exhibition – EAST AFRICA PHARMA EXPO and also first time at Nairobi, Kenya. The Exhibition was professionally organized. The products / service sections were placed as per their respective segments. The Exhibitors have really helped the local pharma manufacturers to share the current technologies in manufacturing. At the same time, the PHARMA CONFERENCE has remained important for the local manufacturers of the East Africa Community (EAC). All in all – the entire Event was addressed to its core objectives and remained very productive & fruitful for all the participants – Exhibitors and Attendees. I recommend EAST AFRICA PHARMA EXPO is the right platform to do business with the East Africa pharma markets.
