South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged international organisations and donor agencies to buy Covid vaccines from African manufacturers.
President Ramaphosa says this would ensure the developing capabilities on the continent are retained.
He says international agencies that have had a lot of money donated to them for purchasing and procuring vaccines for developing-economy countries are not buying vaccines from African vaccine manufacturers, even for those vaccines that are destined for African countries.
Mr Ramaphosa says his country was still advocating for an intellectual property waiver to improve global access to vaccines.
