Opening Ceremony of the High-level virtual Conference on expanding Africa’s vaccine manufacturing for health security
Format
Your Excellency President Felix Tshisekedi,
Your Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa,
Your Excellency President Paul Kagame,
Your Excellency [President] Moussa Faki Mahamat,
Excellencies, distinguished guests, dear colleagues and friends,
Good afternoon and thank you so much for the opportunity to share a few reflections with you today.
The development, approval and rollout of safe and effective vaccines against COVID-19 is giving us all hope of bringing the pandemic under control.
Around the world, 194 countries and economies have now started vaccination, and 26 have not.
COVAX has now delivered more than 38 million doses of vaccine to 105 countries and economies in the past six weeks.
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.
