Several large initiatives and projects are currently underway to promote the local production of pharmaceuticals and vaccines in LMICs as a means to boost regional security and promote innovation. But the capacity to produce, while being a part and parcel of the overall capacity to innovate, is often not sufficient to promote linkages and build long term capabilities that can sustain competitive pharmaceutical sectors.
In this IIPP Seminar Series talk chaired by Head of Research Dr Antonio Andreoni, Prof. Padmashree Gehl Sampath discusses her research on 'Local production of COVID-19 vaccines: A collective capabilities approach.' Followed by a discussion from Els Toreele (IIPP) .
