TOPRA has been confirmed as an Association Partner for the third AfriSummit. Taking place on 8-11 October 2023 in Cairo, Egypt, AfriSummit 2023 is a prominent conference and summit dedicated to addressing the challenges and opportunities facing pharma and medical device regulations in Africa.

Across two streams, PharmaReg and MedDevReg, the event will provide a forum for sharing best practice, showcasing innovative solutions, and highlighting success stories from various sectors across the continent. It will also encourage cross-border collaboration, investment opportunities, and the exchange of knowledge and expertise. 

Taking place on 8-9 October, PharmaReg AfriSummit is geared towards pharma professionals with an interest in regulatory affairs in Africa and aims to improve regulatory partnerships between authorities and industry, decrease application and approval timeline, and enhance the application process to bring new medication for a healthier Africa.

Taking place on 10-11 October, MedDevReg AfriSummit will bring together national regulatory affairs agencies and industry to discuss medical device and IVD regulations and market access throughout Africa. It will provide a platform for manufacturers and distributors to discuss and collaborate on how best to bring these life-changing devices to the continent.
