AUDA-NEPAD in partnership with PATH, hosted a three-day capacity building workshop on medical products regulatory systems strengthening and regulatory harmonisation in Africa. The workshop held at the Radisson Blue International Convention Centre in Kigali, Rwanda on 27 to 29 June 2024 brought together heads of identified National Regulatory Authorities and their legal experts, civil society organizations, parliamentarians and media.
The workshop aimed to enhance the capacity and skills of a range of key stakeholders in medical product regulatory harmonization across Africa by supporting the adoption of the AU Model Law, enhancing understanding of regulatory frameworks, developing advocacy strategies, enabling greater participation in advocacy and accountability, and promoting the ratification of the AMA Treaty. As the African Medicines Regulatory Harmonisation (AMRH) continues its leadership role in supporting the domestication of the AU Model Law, and the operationalisation of AMA, it is critical that key stakeholders grow in their understanding of the health benefits of regulatory harmonisation, its potential impact, and their role. See below some of the reflections of participants. Watch more.
