DAR ES SALAAM: THE Tanzanian government has continued to attract large investors in the pharmaceutical and medical equipment sector in the country following the presence of the Mloganzila pharmaceutical manufacturing hub, a favorable business environment and market certainty
Speaking today, June 1, 2026, in Dar es Salaam, the Deputy Permanent Secretary in charge of Medicines and Equipment, Emmanuel Tayari said the Government has continued to receive large companies interested in investing in pharmaceutical production, including a company from China listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange which has shown a strong interest in investing in the production of “generic drugs” for various human uses.
He said investment activity in the pharmaceutical sector has continued to increase, with some large investors starting the implementation of their projects in the Mloganzila industrial area while demonstrating through the readiness of the “Pharmaceutical Investment Acceleration Task Force” team to assist investors who want to enter the sector by providing them with guidance and facilitating access to a friendly investment environment.
“Tanzania has continued to be an important investment hub due to the presence of a large domestic market as well as the markets of the East African Community and SADC countries. Given this situation, we encourage local and foreign investors to take advantage of the opportunities available in the pharmaceutical and medical equipment sector in the country” said Tayari.
