Celebrating the second edition of urology guidelines  

CAIRO – May 30, 2023 – EVA Pharma is celebrating the completion of its new biologics’ facility in Cairo, which is set to start producing high-quality insulin next month as part of an ongoing collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company to expand sustainable access to the essential medical product.
In a first for both companies, EVA Pharma and Lilly entered a novel agreement December 2022 in which Lilly supplies its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for insulin at a significantly reduced price to EVA Pharma, along with a pro-bono technology transfer.&nbsp;
“The completion of this state-of-the-art facility is a critical milestone on the path to provide high-quality, affordable insulin in Egypt and throughout Africa. With a production capacity of 90 million vials and 50 million cartridges, we will eventually reach at least one million people annually in low- to middle-income countries,” said Riad Armanious, EVA Pharma’s CEO.
"We are committed to transforming healthcare in Africa and the Middle East by localizing the manufacturing of life-saving treatments like insulin. With the inauguration of our biologics’ facility, we are proud to be at the forefront of this effort. This is not only vital for the long-term sustainability of healthcare systems but also for empowering local communities and building more resilient healthcare infrastructure. We believe that high-quality and affordable medicines should be accessible to every patient in need, and we are honored to work with Lilly to make this a reality," he added.
Ahead of submitting for prequalification from the World Health Organization (WHO), EVA Pharma’s Cairo-based manufacturing line is now set to undergo inspection by the Egyptian Drug Authority. Once the inspection is completed, EVA Pharma expects to start the production of this African-made insulin by end of July 2023"
“Lilly congratulates EVA Pharma for completion of its new biologics’ facility, which represents a significant leap forward on the journey to expand access to insulin for millions of people in Africa,” said Ilya Yuffa, executive vice president and president of Lilly International, who toured the new biologics’ facility in Cairo on the day of celebration.
Approximately 24 million adults living in Africa currently suffer from diabetes, according to recent estimates from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), with that number predicted to grow. In 2021, WHO launched its Global Diabetes Compact in order to galvanize action on diabetes prevention and control. The Compact supports agreements like the one between EVA Pharma and Lilly, recognizing that such collaborations are necessary to ensure sustainable access to high-quality medicines in low and middle-income countries.

EVA Pharma Completes New Biologics Facility as Part of Insulin Collaboration with Lilly

&nbsp;
CAIRO – May 22, 2023 -- EVA Pharma participated in the 76th World Health Assembly (WHA) side event on the role of local manufacturing in improving access to noncommunicable disease (NCD) medicines. The event, held on May 22nd in Geneva, served as an influential platform to address the paramount issues surrounding medication accessibility. Among the pivotal points emphasized during the panel discussion was the urgent need for streamlining registration processes and implementing harmonized medicines registration systems to minimize delays and ensure swift access to life-saving medications for those in need.
&nbsp;
The panel discussion addressed the escalating burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Africa, where 24 million adults are currently living with DM according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). With projections estimating that 55 million people in Africa will have diabetes by 2045, the region is facing the largest increase in diabetes rates globally, as highlighted by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Access to affordable insulin remains a key barrier to successful treatment, resulting in unnecessary complications and premature deaths. In response to this critical issue, EVA Pharma started a collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company in December 2022 to expand sustainable access to high-quality, affordable human and analogue insulin and reach annually at least one million people living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in 56 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), most of which are in Africa.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
“We strive to save and improve millions of lives by offering accessible, high-value medicines and healthcare solutions that address local patients’ needs”, emphasized Dr. Riad Armanious, CEO of EVA Pharma. “By joining forces of all health advocates and taking synergistic actions we can implement real change. When we enhance regional manufacturing capabilities, we ensure that high-quality medicine reaches the patients who need it the most.”
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The panel also featured esteemed panelists such as Dr. Bente Mikkelsen, Director of the NCD Programme at the World Health Organization (WHO), Ms. Loren Becker, Senior Director of Global Health Policy at Eli Lilly and Company, Dr. Rogerio Gaspar, Director of the Regulation and Prequalification Department at WHO, and Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director General of the Africa CDC.
&nbsp;
Keynote speakers at the event included H.E. Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, the Minister of Health and Population of Egypt, and Loyce Pace, Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Global Affairs of the United States.
&nbsp;
EVA Pharma's participation in this WHA side event demonstrates its commitment to improving access to NCD medicines and its proactive role in fostering partnerships to address healthcare challenges in Africa. The company's dedication to meeting the needs of local communities aligns with the global effort to enhance healthcare systems and ensure that life-saving treatments reach all who require them.

EVA Pharma Highlights Commitment to Improving Access to NCD Medicines at the 76th WHA Side Event on Role of Local Manufacturing

Cairo,5th March
Oncology experts hail moves to manufacture cancer treatments locally
Oncology professors participating in last month’s 14th International Conference of the Department of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, praised the steps taken by some Egyptian pharmaceutical companies to localize oncology drug manufacturing within the country.
Dr. Samir Shehata, professor of oncology at the Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, commented: “We encourage all Egyptian companies to enter the field of manufacturing oncology drugs, to provide medicine in a sustainable way and at low prices.”
He added, in his statements on the sidelines of the conference, that presidential campaigns and initiatives have led to a decrease in death rates among oncology patients, but this decrease requires continuity in the provision of treatments, which represents a great burden on the state.
Dr. Ibtisam Saad El-Din, professor of oncology at the Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, said that the production of oncology drugs within Egyptian factories will create a perpetual supply at an affordable price. She explained that such drugs are used in the treatment of many tumors. This includes advanced breast cancer, especially the hormone-positive type, which represents about 75% of breast cancer cases among women.
She pointed out that the treatments are manufactured inside Egypt by an Egyptian company with the same efficiency and at a lower cost than imported medicine.
Dr. Mohamed Abdel Moaty, professor of oncology and hematology at the National Institute of Cancer at Cairo University, said that multiple myeloma a rare form of cancer, representing 2% of tumors in general and 10% of tumors of the blood. It is treated via a number of directed and immune drugs.
He explained that there are 160,000 cases of multiple myeloma worldwide, with an incidence rate of 1 per 100,000 people. In Egypt, 800 cases are diagnosed annually, at approximately the same rate as the global level, and the accumulated cases number about 1,700.
Dr. Raafat Abdel-Fattah, professor of hematology and bone marrow transplantation at the National Institute of Cancer at Cairo University, said that Egypt manufactures around 90% of the &nbsp;medicines it needs. In the field of tumors and malignant blood diseases, the country imports about 95% of its drug needs, he added, so localizing the manufacture of oncology drugs and medicines for malignant blood diseases is a breakthrough in the treatment of these diseases.
He added that providing modern treatments such as lenalidomide in Egypt is the best option for treating blood diseases such as bone marrow cancer or multiple myeloma.
Dr. Hisham Tawfik, professor of oncology at the Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, said that the localization of the pharmaceutical industry to Egypt is in line with the state's sustainable development efforts and Egypt's 2030 strategy.
He added that the localization of the pharmaceutical industry to Egypt has three benefits, namely continuity in the provision of medicines, provision of medicines at low prices, and a reduction in pressure on forex reserves.
Dr. Amjad Talaat, General Manager of the Specialized Medicines Unit at EVA Pharma, said that the company is working to provide the latest medicines, in cooperation with the MARC Center for Scientific Research and with international firms. In doing so, EVA Pharma is contributing to the localization of the pharmaceutical industry to Egypt, he said.
Dr. Talaat noted that the company has recently moved towards manufacturing targeted drugs and immunosuppressants and has allocated a factory to produce these drugs, as well as oncology and blood disease medications. The facility, which operates using the latest international technology, ensures continuity in provision of these medicines to consumers in Egypt, or in other Arab or African countries, with the highest efficiency and at an appropriate price.

Cairo,3rd of Feb2023&nbsp;
The Egyptian Association for Urology Research, in cooperation with the Supreme Council of University Hospitals and the Egyptian Medical Association, and sponsored by EVA Pharma, has launched the second edition of the Egyptian guidelines for the treatment of urological diseases, a critical area of specialization.
Dr. Mohamed Awad Taj El-Din, presidential adviser for health affairs, stressed the importance of putting in place national guidelines and guidelines for various medical specialties that help patients obtain the best medical care.
He said that establishing guidelines for various diseases ensure the optimal use of antibiotics in terms of type and duration, helping prevent antibiotic resistance. He added that the Egyptian Society of Chest Diseases and Tuberculosis has set guidelines for respiratory infections.
Dr. Sherif Murad, professor of urology at Ain Shams University and rapporteur for the Egyptian Urology Guidelines Committee, said that the committee began work in November 2019, as a result of the efforts of the Egyptian Urology Association and the Supreme Council of University Hospitals, with the support of the Egyptian Medical Association. Formed by a decree from Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, then minister of higher education and scientific research, the committee includes a number of specialized academics among its members and has 14 sub-committees.
Murad said that the first edition of the guidelines was launched in 2021 to serve as a reference for urologists and others for whom it would be relevant, include those working on cancer or male infertility.
The committee continues to update the guidelines periodically, in line with international medical trends, and to keep abreast of updates in the specialty, Murad said, so that the guidelines retain their value.
The goal of the committee at this stage is to unify the guidelines in the various health facilities affiliated with different authorities and ministries in all governorates, he added, in order to ensure equality between patients and to improve recovery rates.
Dr. Muhammad Shalaby, professor of urology, said that although there are international guidelines in the specialty of urology, some of them are not commensurate with the medical capabilities available at health facilities
Many surgeries abroad currently depend on the use of robots and modern endoscopes, he said, and these capabilities are not available in some Egyptian establishments, especially in the areas outside Cairo.
The nature of urinary tract diseases is different in Egypt than abroad due to climatic conditions and the spread of some diseases, Shalaby also said. For example, there are some cases of kidney stones among children as young as 6 months old.
He noted that the launch of the second edition of the urological guidelines was attended by more than 100 doctors.
The committee also sought the assistance of expert Alaa Ghoneimi, professor of pediatric surgery at the University of Paris, he said.
Shalaby also praised the efforts of EVA Pharma, an Egyptian pharmaceutical company which provides Egyptian patients with treatments of high quality and at reasonable prices.
For his part, Dr. Rafiq Al-Halabi, professor of urology at the Faculty of Medicine at Ain Shams University, said that the existence of guidelines for dealing with urological cases is beneficial for patients, both at the diagnosis and treatment stages.
The guidelines are also beneficial for doctors, allowing them to provide the most appropriate treatment methods in each case, preventing potential professional mistakes and exposure to legal risk.
He emphasized that the results of the publication of the first version of the guidelines was very good, and many young doctors working in the specialty sought help from the publication. The second version was the result of an integrated effort over months to include everything that is part of the specialty, with the addition of infections, testicular cancers and adrenal gland diseases.
Al-Halabi said that kidney stones, kidney and bladder cancer, and prostate enlargement are among the most common diseases of the urinary tract among men, and that the incidence of prostate tumors, both benign and malignant, increases over the age of 50.

“Hyatk Mkmla” campaign

For the first time, Lilly will supply API at a significantly reduced price along with pro-bono technical assistance, enabling EVA Pharma to manufacture and supply insulin to at least one million people in lower income countries
&nbsp;
INDIANAPOLIS and CAIRO,&nbsp; December 14, 2022 – Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) and EVA Pharma&nbsp; announced today a collaboration to deliver a sustainable supply of high-quality, affordable human and analogue insulin to at least one million people living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), most of which are in Africa.
&nbsp;
In a first for Lilly, the company will supply its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for insulin at a significantly reduced price to EVA Pharma. Lilly will also provide a pro-bono technology transfer to enable EVA Pharma to formulate, fill and finish insulin vials and cartridges – establishing the company as a trusted manufacturer of these lifesaving products in Africa.
&nbsp;
EVA Pharma expects to begin distribution of the African-made insulin products within 18 months and to reach one million people per year by 2030. This collaboration is part of the Lilly 30x30 initiative, which aims to improve access to quality healthcare for 30 million people living in limited -resource settings, annually, by 2030
&nbsp;
“Our new collaboration with EVA Pharma reflects Lilly’s deep commitment to making equitable and affordable access to insulin a reality for people living with diabetes in low- and middle-income countries,” said Ilya Yuffa, president of Lilly International. “This latest initiative from Lilly will empower&nbsp; local manufacturing, finishing and&nbsp; distribution of quality insulin – in Africa – which will transform communities and make life better for people throughout the continent.”
&nbsp;
“EVA Pharma is committed to empowering the fight for health and well-being as a human right,” said Riad Armanious, CEO of EVA Pharma. “People suffering from diabetes in LMICs experience daily challenges in accessing treatment. We feel blessed to collaborate with the team at Lilly. Combining our African reach, state-of-the-art facilities, and Lilly’s deep expertise in diabetes care, we aim to treat at least one million patients by 2030 who otherwise may not have access to life-saving medication.”
&nbsp;
According to the IDF Diabetes Atlas, the total number of people with diabetes in Africa is expected to increase 129% by 2045, reaching 55 million people.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;WHO established the Global Diabetes Compact in 2021, a global initiative to support countries in implementing effective programs for the prevention and management of diabetes, one tenet of which includes engaging with the private sector to expand access to products that will improve the lives of people living with diabetes. The dialogues with WHO encourage implementation of and accountability for the commitments and contributions toward improving access to insulin
&nbsp;
“The success of these commitments to increase access for people living with diabetes is an important step in the right direction, but global engagement will need to be translated into implementation in regions and countries,” said WHO Director for Noncommunicable Disease, Dr Bente Mikkelsen. “This is the starting point the hope is to have insulin and diabetes devices as part of Essential Benefit Packages in low- and middle- income countries towards achieving Universal Health Coverage.”
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Lilly will work with EVA Pharma to ensure that their products meet the high-quality standards set for WHO prequalification, which has become a global symbol for safety, quality and efficacy.

Cairo,November 29th- EVA Pharma cooperates with Egypt’s health ministry, UNAIDS on launch of HIV awareness campaign
&nbsp;
The National AIDS Control Program at Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population, in cooperation with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and with leading pharmaceutical company EVA Pharma, has launched a new campaign to fight discrimination against people infected with HIV and address societal fears around the disease.
The “Zay Ay Marad” (“Like Any Disease”) campaign was launched in conjunction with World AIDS Day, which falls on December 1 each year.
Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Population, said that Egypt is among the countries with a low rate of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In addition, while the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the provision of treatment for people living with HIV in many countries, Egypt’s national program to combat AIDS was not affected, he said. In fact, there was an expansion in the umbrella of services provided by the program, and in the provision of the most up-to-date treatments to patients.
&nbsp;
Dr. Abdel Ghaffar stressed the importance of the new campaign in providing detailed information related to the disease and the methods of transmission in order to prevent discrimination against patients and to change the mindset that the infection is a "defect," as is sometimes said. Dr. Abdel Ghaffar pointed out that the disease is transmitted in several ways, including via blood contaminated with the virus, by using injection tools that were used by a person infected with the virus, through sexual relations with an infected person, or from an infected mother to her child during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Dr. Heba El-Sayed, director of the National AIDS Control Program, said that the “Zay Ay Marad” campaign was launched in order to educate Egyptians that people living with HIV do not transmit the infection through normal daily interaction, in order to stop the discrimination against people infected with the virus.
Dr. El-Sayed, speaking at the campaign launch ceremony, said that the program provides all necessary services to patients infected with the virus free of charge, including examination and counseling related to the virus, and in strict confidentiality. It also provides integrated social support for people infected with the virus and their families, and clinical care for those infected via treatment centers at specialized fever hospitals in all Egyptian governorates.
&nbsp;
She added that a hotline is provided for those infected with HIV or those who have queries about it, on the numbers 0233152802, 0233152801, and 09007008000.
&nbsp;
The program aims to coordinate efforts with all parties to combat the disease, reduce infections, and maintain Egypt's status as a country with a low infection rate, while striving to eradicate AIDS in Egypt and achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, she said.
She stressed that Egypt is one of the leading countries in the field of AIDS medicines, and that thanks to companies such as EVA Pharma, Egypt is now able to provide treatment for 97% of people living with the illness through locally manufactured medicines, whereas previously all medication had been imported.
Dr. Walid Kamal, director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) in Egypt, praised the efforts of the Egyptian state in combating HIV, and the cooperation of the national program with all partner agencies to serve patients, stressing that the celebration of World AIDS Day and the launch of the campaign aims to combat discrimination against people living with the virus.
The Egyptian state program is expanding the provision of examination services and health advice, in cooperation with the United Nations, to make the service available to any patient who needs it, in a way that contributes to further limiting the spread of the disease, Dr. Kamal said, noting that Egypt is one of the first countries in the Middle East to provide free treatment and services for HIV patients.
Dr. Kamal explained that the "Zay Ay Marad" campaign will organize many awareness activities on social media and established media to publicize correct information about the disease, fight discrimination, and raise awareness of HIV, which leads to AIDS.
He noted the Egyptian state's keenness to provide the latest pioneering treatments in line with new developments, in a way that improves the health condition of patients, limits the spread of the virus further, and facilitates patients' coexistence with the illness.
Dr. Riad Armanious, managing director of leading national pharmaceutical company EVA Pharma, expressed his enthusiasm for the cooperation with the health ministry and with UNAIDS. He said that the campaign’s name was selected because the HIV virus that causes AIDS is “like any disease” in the way it is spread, diagnosed, and the availability of treatment, and the patient’s right to psychological support and to live without discrimination.
Dr. Armanious added, in his speech at the launch ceremony, that the launch of the campaign is an important day to support health as a human right, pointing to the availability of an integrated treatment program in which people infected with HIV continue to live full lives. He also said that he appreciated Egypt’s efforts in providing an integrated program that treats patients with complete confidentiality and provides treatment and testing free of charge.&nbsp;
He noted that EVA contributes to raising awareness of the disease, as well as developing model clinics to treat this type of virus and training doctors on the topic.
