SLPMA calls for development of pharmaceutical manufacturing sector

July 24, 2025

|

The Island

The Sri Lanka Pharmaceutical Manufacturers' Association (SLPMA) has urged all stakeholders to come together to shape a future where Sri Lanka emerges as a trusted, high-quality, and export-driven pharmaceutical manufacturing hub.

SLPMA hosted an industry-shaping event, under the theme 'National Call to Produce Medicine in Sri Lanka with Care, Trust, and Unity.' The event coincided with the Association's Annual General Meeting and sought to drive a unified, multi-stakeholder dialogue on transforming Sri Lanka's pharmaceutical manufacturing sector into a self-reliant, export-ready thrust industry.

One of the highlights of the evening was the formal handing over of SLPMA’s national policy proposal, an inspiring blueprint that outlined the rationale for developing Sri Lanka's pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, a bold vision for its future, and a set of actionable recommendations.
