Ghana’s Leading Industrial Zone for the Pharmaceutical Industry.
Brief Insight Into Ghana’s Pharmaceutical Industry.
Geographically speaking, Ghana is in West Africa between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Guinea. encompassing 2.4 million square kilometers and having a population of about 30 million. Ghana’s industries just slightly power the country’s economy.
Ghana’s pharmaceutical industry features both private and public entities. Worldwide, an estimated 2000–2500 registered pharmaceutical businesses serve populous villages and towns. On the other hand, private businesses have a lot of space for expansion because they can focus on any phase of the manufacturing process and then sell their products to pharmacies or hospitals.
Pharmaceutical firms are greatly favoured by the existing regulations and rules. They have the most straightforward rules for pharmaceutical businesses to follow when registering, licensing, and advertising their goods. Every business adheres to GDP (Good Distribution Practices) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) rules set by the government. Once they are satisfied, a business can quickly obtain a license to operate its plants in Ghana. The Food and Drugs Board (FDB) and the Medicines Regulatory Authority are the two authorities that disregard clinical studies and marketing and advertising (MRA).
Ghana’s pharmaceutical industry has grown significantly over the last 20 years. The importance of finding better hospitals, facilities, and medications has increased for important stakeholders in this sector. Significantly, as a result of COVID-19 vaccines, Ghana—one of just two sub-Saharan African nations that produce active pharmaceutical ingredients—is quickly developing into the region’s center of pharmaceutical production. Just last month, Rwandan president, Paul Kagame, broke ground for the production site of the BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine facility. Again, President Akufo-Addo cut the sod for production to begin at the Atlantic LifeScience Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant which was recently opened at Ningo Prampram.
