In a step aimed at enhancing sustainable development in the healthcare sector, the Wasit Provincial Council has approved the economic feasibility study for establishing a pharmaceutical factory in the province. The council has also officially addressed the Investment Authority to proceed with the necessary procedures, as stated in its letter No. 1419 dated March 24, 2025.

This study, which was approved by the College of Administration and Economics at the University of Wasit / Department of Economics, is part of the requirements for a master’s degree submitted by student Noor Safaa Jaleel under the supervision of Professor Dr. Salam Muneam Zamil Al-Shammari.

The project aims to achieve self-sufficiency in pharmaceutical production, reduce dependence on imports, and enhance drug security. Additionally, it seeks to create sustainable job opportunities and support economic growth in the region, aligning with sustainable development goals and fostering long-term healthcare and economic progress.
