THE government is focusing on boosting local production of pharmaceutical products to reduce over-reliance on imports and create employment, a cabinet minister said.
Speaking during a webinar hosted by The Financial Gazette last week under the theme “Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Strategy for Zimbabwe (2021-2025) ― Opportunities for Investors”, Industry minister Sekai Nzenza, pictured, said increasing local production in the sector is one of the government’s main priorities for the next four years.
