Will help other countries in enhancing storage capacities for Covid-19 vaccine delivery: India
New Delhi/IBNS: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday announced that India will help all the countries in enhancing their cold chain and storage capacities for the delivery of vaccines to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
"Accordingly, we have organised two training modules for our neighbouring countries in which about 90 health experts and scientists have participated. We propose to expand these programmes to include other interested countries," MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said during a media briefing .
From 17-19 October, a delegation of the concerned departments visited Bangladesh and had fruitful discussions with their Bangladeshi counterparts on the current stage of vaccine development in India and modalities of clinical trials in Bangladesh.
The concerned officials of the two sides have had a virtual interaction on Myanmar’s interest in cooperation on COVID19 vaccines.
"As the situation with respect to vaccine development evolves, the sides will discuss and decide on modalities of cooperation," Srivastava informed.
"In due course, depending on the trials in India, we propose to expand our cooperation with other countries also in clinical trials and capacity building for vaccine development, production and delivery," he said.
