Oman’s National Pharmaceutical Industries (NPI) has begun the construction of an 11 million riyal ($28.6 million) pharmaceutical plant in Muscat, and production of medicine is due to start in 2001, a top official said on April 25.
The Ajay Group previously announced in March plans to build a 10 million riyal pharmaceutical plant in the southern city of Salalah. A spokesman from the Ministry of Health said local production would reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals the government needs to import for its 47 hospitals and 117 health clinics.― ( The Washington Report)
