Africa to Produce 60% COVID-19 Vaccines by 2040 — Health Experts
Health experts across African countries have projected the continent to produce 60 per cent of its vaccines domestically by 2040.
They also said that Africa could increase its overall capacity for pharmaceutical manufacturing on the continent.
They made this projection on the sidelines of the 2nd International Conference on Public Health in Africa in the Rwandan capital city Kigali.
The Co-chair of the international negotiating body of the World Health Organisation on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, Dr Precious Matsoso, said that there was no equitable vaccine distribution during the COVID-19 crisis.
So far, Senegal, Rwanda, Ghana and South Africa have partnered with BionTech to host the manufacturing facilities of Pfizer vaccine.
