On 29 January 2024, Angola issued Presidential Decree No. 41/24, introducing new regulations for licensing pharmaceutical activities. This decree is part of the Government's efforts to modernize regulatory frameworks and attract foreign investments in the pharmaceutical sector by simplifying the licensing process and reducing bureaucratic barriers.

The decree also clarifies procedures for obtaining licenses, enhancing transparency and helping investors better understand compliance requirements.
