Ghana has joined Senegal as the few, if not only, African countries planning on vaccine production.
The Presidential Advisor on Health has hinted that Ghana is set to produce its own Covid-19 vaccines.
Speaking to Emefa Apawu on JoyNews’ The Probe, Sunday, Dr Anthony Nsiah Asare disclosed that a committee has been formed for this agenda.
“The committee is working hard, we meet several times in the week so very soon we will have our own vaccine production,” he added.
According to him, all necessary efforts to this effect are in progress; therefore, the government will achieve its purpose in due time.
“The committee set up by the president for vaccine acquisition is working very hard. I happen to be a member of the committee.
“We have made the scientists and a lot of people who have shown interest in it. So we will see the light very soon.”
He was contributing to discussions on the Probe regarding the vaccine acquisition challenge amid fears of a third wave.
Like most if not all other African countries, Ghana has relied on purchasing vaccine produced by western countries in dealing with Covid-19.
