The African Union Development Agency-NEPAD's African Medicines Regulatory Harmonisation Programme is marking a significant milestone this week with its first Continental Dossier Assessment Plenary.
The programme is piloting a new medicine evaluation process to ensure that medicines reaching the African people are of the highest quality.
In collaboration with the Good Manufacturing Practices Technical Committee over 100 dossier assessors from across Africa are gathering in the Kwa-Zulu Natal province of South Africa for the first continental dossier plenary session.
