    3. Drug and Vaccine Development in Africa: unanswered ambitions or future reality?
    Oct 22 2021

    The current pandemic has created the urgent need to supply vaccines and therapeutics fast and at large scale – though many countries are unable to procure sufficient medicines for their populations.
