Morocco will become a leading continental and global biotech platform in the “fill & finish” industry, writes the Australian news website “Vibe Media”, commenting on the launch and signing of agreements relating to the project to manufacture the anti-Covid19 vaccine in the Kingdom.
This project aims to provide Morocco with industrial and biotechnological capacities, dedicated to the manufacture of vaccines in the Kingdom, which will enable it to ensure its self-sufficiency and to become a leading biotechnology platform on the scale of the African Continent and the world in the field of the industry of “fill & finish”, underlines the publication in an article titled “Morocco signed agreements for manufacturing Covid-19 vaccines.”
In this article, “Vibe Media” also highlights the relevance and effectiveness of the strategy adopted by Morocco since March 2020 to contain the spread of Covid-19, adding that like countries such as Australia and New Zealand, Morocco, through its successful management of the pandemic, has demonstrated its resilience, its ability to innovate as well as its vocation as a provider of health security within its regional and continental environment to health risks.
This 500 Million dollars project which comes to concretization will enable Morocco to produce around 5 million doses per month and increasing this capacity on the medium term to enable the Kingdom to share with its African peers in their struggle to fight with the pandemic, the same source says, which recalls that Morocco, faithful to its principles of empathy, solidarity and responsibility, has sent a medical aid comprising sanitary masks, hydro-alcoholic gel and medications to more than 15 brotherly African countries.
This project constitutes a further step for Morocco in the achievement of the Royal vision for an effective and proactive management of the pandemic crisis and its consequences as Morocco has led, so far, a successful vaccination campaign which has reached around 10 million beneficiaries of the first and second dose.
Since the beginning of this sanitary crisis, Morocco’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic has been guided by the Royal Vision, based on the pillars of anticipation, pro-activity and the primacy of the citizen’s health above any other consideration, according to the author of the article, noting that the Kingdom has taken wise precautionary measures, enabling to anticipate by establishing, on the 20th March, 2020, a state of health emergency with compulsory lockdown, travel restrictions and the wearing of masks.
These measures have been taken at an early stage in comparison with the Kingdom’s neighbourhood, he stresses, adding that this policy has been hailed by the World Health Organisation which underlined that solidarity and innovation have allowed managing efficiently the COVID-19 crisis.
Morocco has been among the first countries to have mobilized more GDP resources to combat COVID-19, establishing a special fund for the Management of the Pandemic and providing social allocations to prevent economic repercussions, the publication recalls.
“Vibe Media” stressed that in order to face the global shortage of masks, around thirty textile companies have been transformed. The fabrication had reached around 10 million masks per day with a selling price of 10 cents per unit.
Morocco became exporter of masks to a number of countries, the Australian media adds, noting that to avoid a future dependence on the importation of test kits, the Kingdom has also conceived an RT-PCR diagnostic kit and has also developed the SIRCOS ventilator for artificial respiration.
“As it has been the case in Australia or New Zealand, the management of the pandemic has demonstrated the robustness, rapidity and innovative capacities of Morocco, a visionary Kingdom anticipating the situation and bringing responses to this unprecedented pandemic, which will require further efforts and mobilization of resources as well as an efficient multilateral action in order to turn its page,” writes the author of the article.
