E-DRUG: South Africa�s mRNA hub progress is foundation for self-reliance - WHO
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
�Covid-19 has demonstrated the importance of investments in science, technology and innovation. Therefore preparing for future pandemics is key and so the WHO mRNA global hub is a critical building block to ensure that South Africa and the whole continent has the production capacity that is essential for equitable vaccine rollout,� said Dr Blade Nzimande, Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology of South Africa. �The mRNA technology is not only for COVID-19, we hope it can be adapted to help us in the fight against HIV, tuberculosis and malaria, which is why we�re investing heavily, alongside international partners, in this initiative.�
