The African Medicines Agency: a key prerequisite for effective pandemic preparedness

Wednesday, 14 December 2022

Official Side Event of the Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA 2022) on the African Medicines Agency

 

Pharmaceutical regulatory harmonization, strengthened and coordinated by the African Medicines Agency (AMA), has often been described as a key prerequisite for better pandemic preparedness.

On the sidelines of the International Conference of Public Health in Africa (CPHIA 2022) and as the foundations of the new AMA are laid out, the African Medicines Agency Treaty Alliance (AMATA) is hosting an event bringing together key stakeholders from the public and private sectors as well as civil society to discuss their respective roles, responsibilities, and collective commitment in the development and vision of the AMA.

AMATA is a multi-stakeholder group set up to advocate for the ratification and implementation of the African Medicines Agency Treaty and for meaningful engagement with patients, industry, and other non-state actors, in all aspects of the AMA framework and development.

Please note that all participants who attend this side event must be registered for CPHIA 2022. 

There will be an option to register on-site for one day only if you wish to attend a side event. Registration for one day attendance is $50.

About CPHIA 2022


The inaugural Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA), hosted by the Africa CDC and the African Union, is a unique platform for African researchers, policymakers and stakeholders to come together and share perspectives and research findings in public health while ushering in a new era of strengthened scientific collaboration and innovation across the continent. Building on CPHIA 2021, this year’s conference will also serve as a catalyst to build more resilient health systems that allow African countries to better prepare for and manage emerging health threats while also addressing long-standing infectious diseases.
