Zimbabwean drug companies have appealed to the government to look into lessening the country’s reliance on imported pharmaceutical goods as they are killing the local industry.
Harare-based daily newspaper, Financial Gazette, quoted the marketing director for local drug producer Datlabs, Clever Mugadza, as saying that Zimbabwean firms supplied only 7% of pharmaceutical products to the local market that distributed US$325 million worth of drugs last year.
"We can potentially supply around 60% of the medicines registered in this country," said Mugadza.
