Covid-19 Vaccines to be Made in Laos by a Chinese Company

In Laos, health officials are in talks with a Chinese drug development business about producing vaccinations against Covid-19.

According to the Center of Information and Education for Health, this information was provided yesterday during a meeting between Lao Minister of Health, Dr. Bounfeng Phoummalaysith, and a representative of China's Stemirna Therapeutics, Mr. Ding Yuefan.

The project aims to aid Laos in its fight against the Covid-19 outbreak by making Covid-19 immunizations more accessible to Lao citizens.

Stemirna Therapeutics was formed in 2016 by a group of Chinese researchers and academics in Shanghai's Zhangjiang Drug Valley.

Stemirna Treatments is the first biotech company in China to provide mRNA therapeutics with a high-end nanoparticle formulation platform, allowing them to provide more effective healthcare and therapeutic solutions.
