The secretariat general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Thursday welcomed the project to manufacture the COVID-19 vaccine as well as other vaccines in Morocco.

This project will enable Morocco to manufacture 5 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine per month for investments worth $ 500 million, OIC points out in a statement.

The project is in line with OIC’s strategic action plan in the sector of health (2014-2013) which seeks to enable member countries to produce efficient, secure and affordable medicine and vaccines, it said.

OIC’s secretariat general congratulates Morocco on this achievement which aims to reinforce the country’s medical self-sufficiency as well as its sovereignty in the health sector.

HM King Mohammed VI chaired, Monday, at the Royal Palace in Fez, the ceremony for the launching and signing of conventions relating to the project of manufacturing the Covid-19 vaccine and other vaccines.
