Coming together to improve access to medicines: The genesis of the East African Community’s Medicines Regulatory Harmonization initiative
2020
Overview
Independent, science-based regulation of medical products is a critical part of ensuring quality healthcare and, when conducted in a transparent, science-based, efficient, accountable, and predictable manner, it can help ensure access to quality products that patients need and can have a very positive impact on public health. [...]African countries must contend with 75% of the world’s HIV/AIDS cases and 90% of its malaria deaths, and access to quality versions of the newest and most effective medicines is key in treating these infections [8], as well as in disease control strategies. The consortium included regulatory and political bodies (AUDA-NEPAD, PAP, the African Union Commission, the Heads of NMRAs, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS), the World Bank, technical partners (WHO, the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products [Swissmedic]), and donors (the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the UK Department for International Development) [12]. At this time, there was only sufficient funding for the consortium to support one pilot project. [...]the consortium decided to solicit proposals from each of the RECs and fund the most promising plan for MRH over the next 5 years.
