A new pharmaceutical manufacturing plant is set to be
constructed in Mt Hampden, about 20km north-west of Harare, in a development
expected to cut reliance on foreign drugs and create more jobs for citizens.
Africure Pharmaceuticals Zimbabwe plans to construct the
pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in collaboration with Innovata
Pharmaceuticals Limited of South Africa.
The value of the project could not be ascertained by the
time of going to print. The critical project would be undertaken, but only after
an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been obtained.
Africure Pharmaceuticals Ltd has contracted the Scientific
and Industrial Research Development Centre (SIRDC) to conduct an EIA study for
this project.
Reads the notice: “Africure Pharmaceuticals Zimbabwe in
collaboration with Innovata Pharmaceuticals Ltd intends to construct a new
pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in Mt Hampden, Zvimba District, Mashonaland
West Province.
“The proposed project site is Lot 1 Shamwari Road. In
addition to the manufacturing plant, other structures to be constructed on site
include effluent treatment plant, offices, warehouses and other ancillary
facilities.” Herald
