The Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) has signed an important memorandum of understanding with the Pharmacy Board of Sierra Leone on the sidelines of the fifth edition of the Africa Health ExCon 2026. This step comes within the framework of Egypt's ongoing efforts to strengthen its relations with African countries in the health sector.
This agreement aims to strengthen regulatory and pharmaceutical cooperation between the two countries, as both parties seek to exchange expertise and information in areas of common interest. The cooperation also focuses on supporting the development of the pharmaceutical system, which contributes to improving the quality of health services provided to citizens.
Through this partnership, the Egyptian Drug Authority seeks to achieve greater integration between regulatory and pharmaceutical bodies on the African continent. This initiative is part of Egypt's strategy to become a regional hub for the manufacturing and distribution of medicines and to facilitate the access of safe medical products to African markets.

This agreement confirms Egypt's commitment to supporting health development on the continent and enhancing technical cooperation that serves the interest of African peoples in obtaining effective and guaranteed medicine.
