Akums Drugs and Zambia to Open Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility by 2028
Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd and the Government of Zambia have entered into a joint venture to establish a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Zambia. The project aims to produce essential medicines locally and distribute them across neighboring African countries, with operations expected to commence in 2028.
The collaboration seeks to address regional healthcare needs by enhancing access to vital medications through local production. By reducing reliance on imported pharmaceuticals, the initiative is anticipated to bolster Zambia’s healthcare infrastructure while supporting broader efforts for improved medical supply chains within Africa. The facility will focus on manufacturing key medicines required for public health, ensuring availability for both domestic use and export purposes.
