Guinea 🇬🇳 inaugurates the ODHAV Pharma pharmaceutical industrial complex in Gbéréyiré
This project is the result of a private investment, as this modern industrial facility was built on an area of 20 hectares, and includes three production lines, with an annual production capacity of up to 720 million tablets, 36 million units of intravenous solutions, and 30 million bottles of pharmaceutical syrup.
The opening of this complex is a new step within the plan to develop the pharmaceutical industry sector in the country, especially after the inauguration of previous pharmaceutical factories in Maférinyah and Manéah, making ODHAV Pharma the third pharmaceutical facility to be opened in just a few months, reflecting a rapid expansion in this vital sector.

In a separate development, Simfer, the company operating the giant Simandou project in Guinea, revealed that it exported about 600,000 tons of iron ore to China during the first three months of 2026, in a move that reflects the growing importance of the project, which is considered one of the largest mining projects in the world.
600,000 tons of Guinean iron ore are headed to China in three months.
Simfer CEO Chris Aitchison said that the shipments exported during the first quarter of the year confirm that the project has entered the actual production phase, while work continues to develop the associated infrastructure and increase its export capabilities in the coming period.
The Simandou project, with an estimated investment of $23 billion, represents the world's largest untapped reserve of high-grade iron ore, making it one of the most important strategic mining projects on the African continent. Located in southeastern Guinea, the project boasts vast reserves expected to solidify the country's position as a major global exporter of iron ore.
