Batna: Paracetamol raw material plant to be delivered within four months

The Minister of Pharmaceutical Industry, Wassim Kouidri, announced during his visit to Batna that the Saidal group's facility for producing raw material for paracetamol will be completed within a maximum of four months. The project, currently 85% finished, represents the first of its kind in the Arab world and Africa, with an annual output capacity of 2,000 tons. This industrial milestone aims to boost national health sovereignty, cut import costs, and ensure a stable supply of essential medicine. The plant is expected to create 700 direct jobs and over 3,000 indirect roles, forming part of a broader strategy by Saidal to localize the production of vaccines and various pharmaceutical precursors.
