The African Healthcare Manufacturing Trade Exhibition and Conference (AHMTEC 2025) will take place from 7 to 9 October at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra, Ghana. <\/p>\n

Hosted by the Federation of African Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (FAPMA) and the Vizuri Health Dynamics, the conference will convene leading manufacturers and healthcare leaders: more than 200 delegates, 46 speakers, and representatives from 111 organisations across 26 countries. This includes numerous\u00a0Ghanaian\u00a0manufacturers and stakeholders, who are central to delivering on the\u00a0Government of Ghana\u2019s Agenda for Jobs and its strategic goal of becoming a pharmaceutical manufacturing hub for West Africa. <\/p>\n

Now in its second year, AHMTEC 2025 builds on the momentum of its inaugural event with the theme \u201cCollaborate to Compete: Strengthening Partnerships for Sustainable Growth\u201d \u2013 driving an Africa-led shift from dependency to manufacturing self-reliance.<\/p>\n

The Urgent Case for African Health Manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n

National health systems across the continent are grappling with disrupted global supply chains, less donor support, and an overreliance on imported medicines, vaccines, and diagnostics. African manufacturers currently supply less than 30% of the medicines consumed on the continent. \u201cThis is a life-threatening vulnerability, not just a market imbalance,\u201d says Dr. Skhumbuzo Ngozwana, FAPMA Board Member. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are past the wake-up call. Our people\u2019s lives depend on how quickly we move toward manufacturing self-reliance, and AHMTEC is the platform to drive that transformation.\u201d In response to this challenge, Ghana is taking decisive steps through initiatives like the\u00a0Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan and support for the African Medicines Agency (AMA).<\/p>\n

A Manufacturer-Led Agenda for Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike traditional health sector conferences, AHMTEC has designed its agenda with and for African manufacturers. Every session and panel aims to deliver practical solutions for: building competitive, financially viable manufacturing businesses and creating supportive policies, incentives, and investment. In parallel, AHMTEC hosts a trade exhibition, investor-readiness workshops, visits to Ghanaian manufacturing facilities, and networking opportunities. This is how AHMTEC drives tangible deals and partnerships that accelerate manufacturing capacity, product development, and Africa\u2019s long-term health future.<\/p>\n

AHMTEC isn\u2019t about speeches. It\u2019s for manufacturers who are ready to grow,\u201d said Dr. Mariatou Tala Jallow, Council Chair of Vizuri Health Dynamics. \u201cWith Africa\u2019s healthcare manufacturing at a crossroads, we either continue to wait for help or we actively build the systems ourselves, starting at AHMTEC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Event Highlight: Launching Africa\u2019s First Manufacturing Data Dashboard<\/strong><\/p>\n

AHMTEC 2025 will debut AMMINA, the African Manufacturing Market Intelligence and Network Analysis (AMMINA), a groundbreaking data platform drawing from 700+ manufacturers and 2,500+ health products across 18 countries. With an interactive, data-driven dashboard, AMMINA can provide real-time data on manufacturing capacity, products, and investment readiness.<\/p>\n

It responds to a need long demanded by industry and partners. With AMMINA\u2019s insights, decision-makers can better recognise opportunity and risk, inform policies, and mobilise greater investment across Africa\u2019s manufacturing ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Ghana\u2019s selection as host underscores its leadership in advancing Africa\u2019s health sovereignty. Its clear national agenda to become a pharmaceutical manufacturing hub for West Africa make it the ideal venue to forge the partnerships needed for a self-reliant healthcare future. Health security is a shared responsibility. The AHMTEC 2025 is where African and global stakeholders come together to turn partnerships into progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
