The South African Communist Party (SACP) has accused the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) of being “captured by Western medicine”.
Speaking at the Moses Kotane memorial lecture on Sunday, SACP first deputy general-secretary Solly Mapaila said that SAHPRA was using delay tactics over Cuba’s Covid-19 vaccine registration process,
“Apart from Europe and the United States, SAHPRA seems to delay the registration of medicine and vaccines from other countries across the globe. When these countries tell SAHPRA to jump in regards to their medicine, the institution says how high, but that it is not the case with others as they always tell us about its terrible procedures. I believe that SAHPRA has no reason why it hasn’t been utilising medicine from Cuba,” he said.
