Europe itself, with Italy and Germany leading, after World War II, is a clear example.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Costantino continues, pharmaceutical development triggers a cascading progress: \u201cThe development of the pharmaceutical sector implies <strong>infrastructure growth, creation of value chains, the need for qualified and trained workforce, increased public welfare spending, and consequently higher per capita spending capacity.<\/strong> The issue of security and sovereignty, to which the discussion added pharmaceutical accessibility, critically addresses the need of East African Community countries to generate a pharmaceutical supply system as autonomous as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"messaggio-chiave\">Pharmaceutical development triggers a cascading progress<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system, based on <strong>bottom-up choices grounded in local needs<\/strong>, should complement and, in the medium to long term, replace international procurement. The ultimate goal is to <strong>make the health systems as independent as possible from international economic and sociopolitical instabilities<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A clear idea looking toward the future of the pharmaceutical system\u2014and beyond\u2014in low- and middle-income countries. In conclusion, Costantino states: \u201cThis process requires the joint effort of the public system, especially secondary and tertiary education, but also, and above all, the pharmaceutical regulatory system, the private sector, and international cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Science and Politics: A Necessary Synergy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Summer School, the crucial and now more necessary than ever integration between science and politics in the pharmaceutical field clearly emerged. \u201c<strong>Two sectors that, although seemingly very distant, must work in a coordinated and integrated manner,<\/strong>\u201d stated <strong>Marco Pieroni<\/strong>, associate professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Parma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"messaggio-chiave\">Not merely treatment but also prevention and early diagnosis are fundamental to preventing the spread of epidemics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pieroni focused his intervention on<strong> malaria and tuberculosis<\/strong>, endemic diseases in the region, emphasizing the need for a \u201c<strong>multilevel approach<\/strong>: not merely treatment but also prevention and early diagnosis are fundamental to preventing the spread of epidemics and, in some way, containing them. It became clear that, although harmonization of measures can be pursued, it is unrealistic to think that decisions made in one specific cultural and regulatory context can be simply transferred and adopted in another. At best, if not uniformity, convergence can be aimed for, which institutions, independently and sovereignly, must take responsibility for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the event, Pieroni, together with Carmine Iorio, coordinated<strong> a crisis scenario simulation <\/strong>where participants took on the roles of decision-makers, politicians, and stakeholders to manage future health emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communication Is Part of the Response<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn our time, health emergencies, especially pandemics, are not only about the spread of a new pathogen. We saw this clearly during COVID-19: the health crisis was accompanied by a communication crisis,\u201d recalled <strong>Carmine Iorio<\/strong>, pharmacist and speaker at the Summer School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"messaggio-chiave\">Preparing for future health emergencies also means equipping ourselves with tools to communicate clearly, transparently, and ethically<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe infodemic had a profound impact on the public perception of risk. Preparing for future health emergencies also means equipping ourselves with tools to communicate clearly, transparently, and ethically. Communication is an integral part of the health response to emergencies in the new century.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges and Perspectives for East Africa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main local challenge in the pharmaceutical sector was highlighted by Dr. <strong>Thierry Habyarimana<\/strong>, local co-organizer and Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at INES, who emphasized the lack of qualified workforce, a strong regulatory framework, and sufficient investments. Furthermore, according to Habyarimana, \u201c<strong>the absence of scientific exchange platforms\u2014at national, regional, and international levels\u2014hinders a multidisciplinary understanding of the sector\u2019s real gaps<\/strong>. Pharmaceutical security and sovereignty within the East African Community would require strong regional integration to build systems appropriate for the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"messaggio-chiave\">The shared experience of the Kigali Summer School can represent a good model of practical partnerships<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vedaste Habyalimana<\/strong>, Director of the Drugs Department at the Rwanda FDA, emphasized how this school represents an example of the importance of sharing best practices:<br>\u201cThe shared Italian and European experience has been an inspiration for African initiatives and truly serves as <strong>a good model of practical partnerships<\/strong> that can lead to the establishment of the pharmaceutical industry in Africa\/East Africa with guaranteed success in a very short time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Forward-Looking Initiative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Habyalimana, the hope is that the school <strong>becomes an annual event<\/strong> to continue promoting information exchange and relationship building. In this regard, the University of Parma, together with other institutions, has expressed the intention to continue along this path of collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim is for this school not to be an isolated event, but the starting point for a consistent and stable follow-up that allows the creation of <strong>an increasingly strong network of health professionals, academics, and stakeholders<\/strong> determined to play a leading role in the pharmaceutical and health sector of their countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From June 15 to 19, the capital of Rwanda hosted the international Summer School on pharmaceutical security and sovereignty.
