Ghana and Egypt agree to streamline registration of Egyptian pharmaceutical products in Ghana

President John Dramani Mahama unveiled the Health Investment and National Gateway Enabler (HINGE) digital platform in Alamein, Egypt on October 3. The platform aims to reduce regulatory and financial obstacles for investors and innovators in Africa's health sector. Mahama explained that HINGE would streamline regulation, clinical validation and commercialization into a unified process.

Ghana is deploying task forces and an observatory to track capital flows, monitor policy commitments and address non-tariff barriers affecting regional value chains. Mahama stressed that governments cannot fund the transformation alone and called for greater private sector, industrial and financial participation. He challenged financiers to identify de-risking structures, regulators to operationalize the African Medicines Agency quickly, and industrialists to form partnerships for full Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient synthesis.

Mahama urged treating health as a strategic investment rather than an expense, calling for factories, integrated supply chains, and funding innovators to secure African citizens' future.
