Medical Supplies Department to Review Local Production and Exports
The General Department for Medical Supplies at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce discussed enhancing local production and increasing exports, especially to Arab and African markets, with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency and reducing dependency on imports. This effort has become even more important after the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the significance of strategic stockpiles. The department reaffirmed its support for the state's efforts to build a strategic reserve amounting to between 12 and 18 months, a move that helped Egypt overcome the pandemic and received international acclaim. The local market's sales of Egyptian-produced goods exceed 50 billion Egyptian pounds, and the sector is a major source of employment. Egyptian exports surpassed 7.2 billion pounds in 2025, benefiting from preferential trade agreements with several economic blocs. The upcoming meeting will review the outcomes of discussions with the Unified Purchasing Authority and address companies' complaints regarding the working system and interactions with the authority, with the aim of resolving issues and strengthening cooperation.
