The U.S. Trade and Development Agency and Corporate Council on Africa will convene U.S. and North African pharmaceutical and medical device companies, government representatives and multilateral partners for a two-day workshop to develop action-oriented outcomes that advance regulatory harmonization and improve market access for essential medical products in Africa.

This workshop will provide insights into the regulatory landscape for medical products in North Africa and highlight progress made by national regulatory agencies in strengthening their systems to meet WHO Global Benchmarking Tool (GBT) standards. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how these advancements enhance the safety, quality, and effectiveness of medical products in the region.

Sessions will address regulatory harmonization developments in the region, including strengthening and digitization of regulatory systems, implementation of monitoring and evaluation frameworks and development of medical devices regulatory pathways that align with continental regulatory harmonization initiatives.

The program will provide ample opportunities for attendees to network and connect with industry leaders, policymakers and regulators.

This event is the fourth regional workshop in USTDA’s Regulatory Convergence for Healthcare Products in Africa series.
