Ghana's pharmacy industry has set a target of producing 70 percent of its medicines locally by 2035, Ghana Business News reports.
The goal was announced on Wednesday, 23 September 2026, according to the outlet, and covers the country's pharmaceutical manufacturing sector.
Ghana Business News did not publish further details on the plan, including the specific policies or funding behind the 2035 target.
The report points to a long-running push to expand domestic drug manufacturing in Ghana, where the pharmacy sector has historically relied on imports for a large share of its supply. The 70 percent figure, as reported by Ghana Business News, sets a benchmark for how far the industry intends to shift that balance over the next decade.
Local production targets of this kind are typically tied to efforts to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers, shorten supply chains and keep more of the value of medicine sales inside the country. The reporting does not specify how the 70 percent goal will be measured or which products it covers.
What to watch next is whether Ghana's government and pharmaceutical manufacturers release a detailed roadmap for reaching the 2035 target, and whether the sector reports interim progress before then.
