President Samia Suluhu Hassan has issued an immediate executive mandate targeting the rapid expansion of local drug and medical equipment production to accelerate national industrial capacity.
The Head of State has charged the newly appointed Deputy Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Health, Emmanuel Tayari, with the direct oversight of industrial infrastructure developments and the facilitation of strategic investor operations nationwide.
Executive Mandate on Investment Roadblocks
Speaking during an official swearing-in ceremony at State House on February 9, 2026, President Samia outlined a critical structural shift to modernize how private capital is integrated into the domestic healthcare sector.
The Deputy Permanent Secretary is tasked with establishing an immediate intervention framework to dismantle the specific administrative delays that impede manufacturing projects. This operational mandate covers:
- Resolving complex land allocation delays and zoning friction
- Dismantling deep-seated bureaucratic bottlenecks and regulatory inertia
- Securing transparent, fast-tracked entry for high-value international and domestic capital
- Tracking investor profiles closely to align private projects with national healthcare priorities
President Samia emphasized that structural inefficiencies will no longer be tolerated, demanding a business environment that provides clear, predictable support to incoming industrial players.
