Tanzania's health ministry sent Permanent Secretary Seif Shekalaghe to check out the Tanzania Pharmaceutical Industries plant in Arusha because Health Minister Mohamed Mchengerwa wants the dormant facility cranking out antiretroviral meds again. The government is already locked in a partnership deal through the Medical Stores Department and the Treasury Registrar to get rehab work going, and they formed a joint task force that is apparently like 90 percent done setting things up.
Technical crews are wrapping up quality checks on the equipment to figure out what needs fixing or replacing before production can restart. Shekalaghe mentioned the whole push fits President Samia's industrial plan to boost local manufacturing and cut dependence on imported pharmaceuticals.
