Strategy of Manufacturing Vaccines in Tunisia at Centre of Working Session at Ministry of Health


The strategy of manufacturing vaccines in Tunisia was the focus of a working session held Friday at the headquarters of the Ministry of Health.

The meeting was held with representatives of the study office in charge of preparing a study on the efficiency of vaccine manufacturing. The study office presented a final report on the various aspects relating to the establishment of a vaccine manufacturing project and the mechanisms proposed to achieve it as soon as possible, said a statement from the Ministry of Health made public.

Health Minister Ali Mrabet stressed the importance of the vaccine and medicine manufacturing project. It is a project that will consolidate Tunisia's economic position and have a positive impact on the health sector, the minister added.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced last February the selection of six countries, including Tunisia, to have a technology developed for the opening of production centres for vaccines against the coronavirus.
