Last year, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said with some regret that "Iraq spends three billion dollars annually to import medicines," adding that most of the medicines we import are not subject to inspection, first, and do not look at our actual needs, second.
His speech at the time was in a meeting with the Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers in Iraq, during which he pointed to Iraq's ability to change this picture, saying that the private sector in Iraq can produce (250) types of medicines in cooperation with major international companies, and he expected that work would begin within a year. I
remembered this as I watched the Prime Minister inaugurate two factories for antibiotics and immunosuppressive drugs yesterday. The two projects are part of the private sector projects, and are part of the program to localize pharmaceutical industries in Iraq, which is the program that the government promised and made a priority, and here it is seeing the light.
There are real indicators that show the government's seriousness in giving this vital sector the attention and care it deserves, foremost of which is that contracts for establishing pharmaceutical projects have increased to more than (60) percent, in addition to starting to develop plans to establish the pharmaceutical industrial city, and focusing on the manufacture of life-saving drugs "such as cancer drugs" which are expensive and difficult to secure on an ongoing basis. The two pharmaceutical factories that the Prime Minister inaugurated yesterday relied in their technology on a global origin "from Italy", and they will constitute a first step towards re-locating the pharmaceutical industry in Iraq after long decades of imports based on randomness and the greed of some merchants.
