Egypt has achieved 100% self-sufficiency in medicines for chronic diseases, including treatments for heart conditions, hypertension, diabetes, and psychological and neurological disorders, as reported by Sada El-Balad, a partner of TV BRICS. Data shows that domestic pharmaceutical production now meets 91.5% of Egypt’s total demand for medicines, with imports limited to specialised drugs for oncology and immunological conditions.
Industry experts emphasised that chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease require continuous treatment and that Egypt has been producing medicines for these conditions for more than 85 years, demonstrating the quality and resilience of the national pharmaceutical sector. Egypt manufactures most finished medicines locally; the country continues to import 100 per cent of the raw materials used in pharmaceutical production.
