The failure of the COVAX facility to deliver equitable vaccine access showed the world the importance of building capacity at the regional level for the funding, research, and delivery of resources, said Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières).
“What is important is providing capacity in the regions and making sure institutions and countries have access to these tools,” said Nathalie Ernoult, deputy head of policy and advocacy of MSF’s Access Campaign, in a June 20 video call. “There is a way to have different models of response. Let’s work with that diversity of capabilities — rather than trying to have a one-size-fits-all model.”
These include Ateneo de Manila University’s Integrated Protein Research Development Center under the Department of Science and Technology, which will develop the technology required for the production of proteins used in the biomedical and food industries. Highlighting the need for regional production, Ms. Ernoult shared that MSF identified hundreds of suppliers that could have received the technology to produce mRNA vaccines.
