The country's first generic drug manufacturing plant, located 27 km from Libreville in the Nkok Special Economic Zone (SEZ), allows Gabon to free itself from its over-dependence on foreign-made drugs.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Inaugurated in November 2020 by President Ali Bongo Ondimba, La Sant\u00e9 Pharmaceutique (LSP), Gabon's first drug manufacturing plant, is the largest in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC). In 2022, it is preparing to move into the second phase of its development to guarantee Gabonese people, as well as Africans in the sub-region, access to essential medicines at competitive prices and meeting international standards.<\/p>\n

To date, the African continent imports more than 80% of its medicines from abroad (mainly from India and China), according to the United Nations. Also, the establishment of the generic medicine production site in Gabon has been welcomed as a true health revolution.<\/p>\n

Less than a year after its opening and despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the pharmaceutical factory is capable of manufacturing around thirty generic medicines (compliant tablets, capsules, ointments and syrups) whose purchase prices are 30% to 40% cheaper than those currently circulating on the Gabonese private market. In its second phase, LSP will produce injectables and glucose, as well as antiretrovirals.<\/p>\n

The 25,000 m\u00b2 production site is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. The factory imports its raw materials, mainly from Europe, while using domestic resources, in a country covered with more than 85% of forest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to a lack of available skills in Gabon, LSP offered its own in-house training and entered into various partnerships. This is notably the case with a health school in Morocco. <\/p>\n

To date, LSP has more than 100 employees, including 801 Gabonese nationals and 501 women. The 201 foreign nationals complement this team by contributing their respective expertise.<\/p>\n

Sant\u00e9 Pharma is now capable of producing 1 million tablets per day, 150,000 bottles of syrup per day, 20,000 ointments, and 600,000 capsules per day. The company sells its medicines to two private wholesalers, PharmaGabon and Ubipharm, as well as to the National Pharmaceutical Office (OPN).<\/p>\n
