The Republic is building up its vaccine-manufacturing capacity even as researchers around the world race to develop one for Covid-19.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Friday (June 5) that Singapore intends to offer fill-and-finish contract manufacturing services to vaccine developers.
In the pharmaceutical industry, contract development and manufacturing organisations work on a contractual basis to fulfil services such as the manufacture of drugs or vaccines.
“This should help them ramp up production faster, and assure them high standards of safety and quality in the manufacturing process,” PM Lee told the Global Vaccine Summit, co-hosted by the British government and Gavi, the vaccine alliance, over a video call.
The discovery, production and distribution of a safe and effective vaccine is vital to getting life back to normal despite Covid-19, he said.
He added: “I hope that this summit will help focus our minds and resources, and forge partnerships to promote ‘vaccine multilateralism’.”
