President Kagame today participated to the Conference on Expanding Africa’s Vaccine Manufacturing. Read below His Address:
I want to begin by thanking the African Union Commission, led by Chairperson Moussa, and Africa CDC, for convening this timely conference.
Vaccine equity cannot be guaranteed by goodwill alone, as we have seen many examples to convince all of us. Africa needs to expand production capacity for vaccines and other essential medical products. I can’t agree more with President Cyril Ramaphosa.
In line with our agenda of increasing domestic health financing, it is important for Africa to forge strategic public-private partnerships for vaccine manufacturing on our continent.
