Egyptian Drug Authority signs cooperation agreement with Sierra Leone to strengthen the medical sector
The Egyptian Drug Authority has signed a new memorandum of understanding with the Pharmacy Board of Sierra Leone, on the sidelines of the fifth edition of the Africa Health ExCon 2026 conference and exhibition. This step comes within the framework of Egypt's continuous efforts to strengthen its relations with African countries in the health sector.
This agreement aims to exchange expertise and information between the two sides and to develop the pharmaceutical systems in both countries. Through this cooperation, both parties also seek to unify regulatory efforts, which will help facilitate the procedures for registering and circulating medicines more efficiently and safely for citizens.
This memorandum is part of Egypt's strategy to open new markets for Egyptian pharmaceutical industries on the African continent. It is expected that this partnership will contribute to supporting integration between regulatory bodies, ensuring that high-quality medicines reach African markets.

The Authority confirms that this cooperation reflects Egypt's commitment to supporting the health sector in sister nations and exchanging scientific and regulatory knowledge to achieve sustainable development goals on the continent.
