This is a very lucrative industry which is enriching many countries in the world.But it comes with many pitfalls.You can invest a billion dollars like the Chinese did but if you fail to tightly regulate and supervise the pharmaceutical industry it won't be productive.Bad reputation of mishandling of chemicals,fake pharmaceutical products and unsanitary production conditions are almost impossible to correct.If we are going to do this then we must approach it with a very delibrate plan of production and intended market.We could start by producing pain killers and cough syrup for ourselves and markets in Ivory Caost,Togo,Sierra Leone,Liberia,Niaja West Africa.If we are able to produce very good introductory products with clear expiration dates on them then it will give a good reputation to begin with.Failure to start off with a good reputation will automatically sink any effort.

Well written Ghanaba. I love to read articles written by people who obviously know what they are talking about. As you rightly said, the major pitfall will be in how tight the regulations are and how tightly they are controlled. Our Regulatory or competent authorities (Pharmacy Council and FDA)are so corrupt they will approve anything for a backhander !

IF YOU GIVE INCRNTIVES FOR FOREIGN FIRMS YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR THAT LOCAL FIRMS CANNOT SUCCEED. BIG PHARMA IS HERE TO MAKE BIG PROFIT. THEY WILL BRIBE AND CORRUPT EVERYONE WHO MATTERS TO GAIN MONOPOLY OVER THE HEALTHCARE BUSINESS. SO YOU BETTER RETHINK YOUR PRIORITIES IF YOU WANT LOCAL INDUSTRY TO SUCCEED.

The NDC is against every development programs and plans laid out by the Akufo-Addo and his NPP govt. Recently, one of their leading members was quoted as saying: "we will make sure that Akufo-Addo's govt fail to succeed at all cost" while supporters of the Notorious Demonic Council (NDC) cheered on. And one would query: is Amaliba a true Ghanaian and patriot? Why should any Ghanaian in his right senses make such a wicked statement against the govt? The time has come for all Ghanaians to rise up and resist the evil advances and intentions of the NDC. They bulldozed into Ghana politics with evil intentions, to destroy every good thing established by NPP and other parties. These kinds of attitudes and ill will won't help us in our democracy and nation building. It's time to disband the NDC permanently from Ghana's politics. They are envious about the progress of others. The new govt intends to create a business friendly environment that will attract local and foreign investors. But the NDC wishes doom and gloom. Get rid of the Sasabonsam party before they totally destroy the nation's dreams.

This man has no idea what he is talking about. Does he know anything about the pharma industry in South Africa or even Kenya? Ghana comes nowhere near. Not long ago, you and your NPP band of liars were telling the whole world that Ghana's economy had collapsed, warding off inward investors. J&J have come to Ghana beause they didn't believe you. So don't try to take the credit for it.

These are the kind of things that made me marvel at Ghanaians. Empty talks all the way. Where do you put Nigeria which account for 70% of drugs produced in west Africa? You think they will be sleeping? Where is your petrochemical industries from which 60% of chemicals are derived? Or you mean mere mixing of chemicals will guarantee an industry? What of support industries biotechnology firms and research institutes? Where are the chlorine limestone and phosphate industries to derive the salts? Or you think alomo Jedi firms are drug plants?
