The Egyptian Drug Authority has decided to start implementing a tracking system for locally manufactured drugs, according to sources close to the matter. The system will be applied in a few days, based on the technical readiness levels of factories and producing companies. This move aims to enhance the monitoring and control of pharmaceutical products in the country.

The tracking system will not be based on therapeutic groups, but rather on the technical eligibility of entities, sources told Almal News. This approach is expected to ensure that all qualified entities are tracked and monitored effectively. The Egyptian Drug Authority is taking this step to improve the regulation and oversight of the pharmaceutical industry in Egypt.

The implementation of the tracking system is part of the Egyptian Drug Authority's efforts to enhance the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products. By monitoring and controlling the production and distribution of drugs, the authority aims to protect public health and prevent any potential risks associated with substandard or counterfeit products.

The Egyptian pharmaceutical industry has been growing rapidly in recent years, with many local companies producing a wide range of drugs. The implementation of the tracking system is expected to have a positive impact on the industry, as it will help to ensure that only qualified entities are involved in the production and distribution of pharmaceutical products.

The Egyptian Drug Authority has been working to improve the regulation and oversight of the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. The implementation of the tracking system is part of a broader effort to enhance the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products in Egypt.
