The General Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomed the decision taken by the Kingdom of Morocco to produce Anti-COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines following the signing, on Monday 05 July 2021, of three agreements with China under the patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
Under the agreements the Kingdom of Morocco will be able to produce five million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine per month, with investments of $500 million.
The move is in line with the OIC Strategic Health Programme of Action (OIC-SHPA) 2014-2023 regarding self-reliance in the production of quality, safe, efficacious and affordable medicine and vaccines among the OIC Member States.
The General Secretariat congratulates the leadership of the Kingdom of Morocco upon this landmark achievement that is aimed at enhancing self-sufficiency and the health sovereignty of Morocco.
