Tunisia’s pharmaceutical industry has a well-developed infrastructure, with 42 factories producing medicines for human use and 4 others producing medicines for animals, Chokri Hammouda, Chairman and CEO of the Central Pharmacy, told Mosaique FM.
He added that Tunisia produces 80% of the medicines it needs. 95% of these medicines are generic, while the remaining 5% are purely Tunisian products.
They are just as effective as the original drugs and much cheaper,’ he added.
