  "summary": "The 2026 African Healthcare Manufacturing Trade Exhibition and Conference (AHMTEC 2026), hosted by the Federation of African Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations (FAPMA), Vizuri Health Dynamics, and the Ethiopian Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies Manufacturing Industries Sectorial Association (EPMSMISA), will convene manufacturers, suppliers, investors, and policymakers in Addis Ababa from 26 to 28 October. The event, themed \"Industrialise to Commercialise,\" will shift focus from capacity building to commercial-scale production, aiming to help African pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers compete in regional and global markets. Sessions will cover policy, regulation, incentives, pooled procurement, financing, pricing, diagnostics manufacturing, and active pharmaceutical ingredient development, with a focus on regulatory harmonisation and the African Medicines Agency. The event will report progress on initiatives launched at the 2025 edition in Accra, including the Accra Declaration and the AMMINA platform.",
