On a recent visit to Algiers, Jordanian Health Minister Firas Ibrahim Al Hawari highlighted the successful collaboration between Algeria and Jordan in the pharmaceutical industry.

Khaled Dahane reciprocated the sentiment, noting the success of the ongoing cooperation, particularly in terms of the increasing investments made by Jordan in Algeria. This investment is seen as a pioneering effort, and Algeria is keen to solidify this partnership through commercial integration aimed at producing and marketing pharmaceuticals jointly. The Algerian government’s strategy includes producing the raw materials necessary for drug manufacturing, which would help reduce local production costs.
