dc.description.abstractThe local manufacture of pharmaceuticals is an opportunity to develop a broader manufacturing and knowledge-based economy and reduce over dependence on imports. To promote local production, the Ugandan government introduced Buy Uganda Build Uganda policy geared towards promoting use of locally manufactured goods. It also increased import verification fees in 2017 for 37 selected locally manufactured essential medicines from 2 to 12% to discourage importation of these medicines. This study assessed the impact of the increase in verification fees on local production capacity of the medicines.en_US
