AFRICASEPTIC s.a.r.l.

For long, Africa has been dependant on vaccination

programs initiated by health organizations, both public

(WHO, Unicef,…) or private initiatives (Gavi,…). This

approach has led to the installation of a “dependency-

type” mode for vaccination program, leading often to a

lack of efficient vaccination for large populations due to

stock-out or other manufacturing issues. The same

constraints are observed with some critical medicines

such as injectable antibiotics which are mainly

supplied from Western countries.

AFRICASEPTIC s.a.r.l.

Key issues driving Africaseptic project

• Supply of vaccines is highly depending on good will from large pharmaceutical companies

• Stock-outs are frequent

• Gavi is aiming that Africa will take in its own hands the vaccine supply

Ideal is that vaccines are manufactured in Africa

But…
