Fifth
GAVI Board Meeting, 21-22 June 2001, London, England
June 2001
Developing Country Vaccine Manufacturers Network
DISCUSSION
The Board welcomed the development of a new network
of developing country vaccine manufacturers (download Powerpoint
file approx. 139kb), and urged close collaboration between
this network and the IFPMA.
The vaccine industry should be viewed as an international
industry, and not stratified between manufacturers from developing
and industrialized countries. In this context, the Board confirmed
the need for an adequate number of active producers of vaccines
in developing and industrialized countries, and maintaining an environment
of fair competition while at the same time identifying gaps in research
and development.
