Algeria backs Africa's health program
The Algerian Minister of Health, Mohamed Tadich Aït Messaoudene, reiterated Algeria's support for the health security and sovereignty program in Africa. He considered health sovereignty a strategic necessity that cannot be left to others. He explained that recurring health crises have demonstrated that health security is not limited to the countries directly affected, and that strengthening the local pharmaceutical industry is fundamental to building health sovereignty across the continent. He also mentioned progress made toward activating the North Africa Regional Coordination Center and developing regional value chains in the pharmaceutical industry. Additionally, he reaffirmed Algeria's readiness to share its expertise and enhance regional cooperation in areas such as production, collective bargaining, digital transformation, and strengthening networks of laboratories and health institutions among African countries.
