A new dialysis filter manufacturing facility is set to begin operations in Egypt this July, with the aim of reducing the country’s reliance on imported medical supplies.
The factory, developed at a reported cost of EGP 160 million (USD 3.3 million), is expected to meet 65 percent of local demand for dialysis filters. Officials estimate that the move could reduce import expenses by up to EGP 3 billion (USD 50 million) annually.
The announcement was made by Amr Abdel Razek, Chairperson of Wadi El Nile Stio and SLS Egypt, during a recent press conference on Monday 30 June. He stated that the factory has received ISO certification and conforms to current international standards for medical manufacturing.
