| - The African Medicines Agency (AMA) is a proposed (AU) intended to facilitate the harmonisation of medical regulation throughout the African Union. Following a similar model to that of the European Medicines Agency, it is intended to have a wide scope covering medicines, traditional medicine, and medical devices. The AMA is the latest step in efforts by the AU and regional African bodies to improve medical capacity in the continent. Such efforts are intended to address a deficiency in drug production and challenges posed by counterfeit and substandard products. Once it is created, it is expected that the AMA will supervise and absorb roles currently carried out by other bodies, such as regional harmonisation efforts and pan-AU creations such as the (AMRH) initiative and the (AVAREF). The Treaty for the Establishment of the African Medicines Agency was adopted by the AU in February 2019. It came into effect on 5 November 2021, after ratification from the 15th AU member states, Cameroon. The headquarters of the AMA will be located in Rwanda. (en)

Adopté par les chefs d'État et de gouvernement africains le 11 février 2019, le traité portant création de l’Agence africaine du médicament devait être ratifié par au moins 15 états et que cette ratification soit déposée auprès de la commission de l'UA afin de pouvoir donner une existence opérationnelle à l'agence. Avec la ratification du Cameroun le 5 octobre 2021, cette étape est franchie, et le traité entre en vigueur le 5 novembre 2021. Le siège de l'AMA sera localisé au Rwanda. (fr)
