Health Minister: Insulin import unlikely
Egypt's Minister of Health and Population, Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, spoke about Egypt's efforts to manufacture insulin locally, emphasizing that four Egyptian companies produce generic drugs similar to imported insulin, which contain the same chemical composition. These products meet the local market needs and even exceed them. He clarified that the raw material for Egyptian insulin is sourced from the two largest manufacturers in the world, and there is no need to import insulin since it can be produced domestically with high efficiency, thereby conserving hard currency. He also stressed that Egypt adheres to a fixed pricing policy for medicines, and any unofficial attempts to raise prices can be reported. The minister pointed out that citizens are free to purchase imported insulin at their own expense, but his goal is to promote local products and provide medicines at affordable prices.
