Africa to benefit from bio-decon investment

摘要

Vaccine production in Africa will soon benefit from advanced bio-decontamination technology. Four hydrogen peroxide vapour generators are being provided to enable animal vaccines to be produced in a clean environment. These Bioquell Z-2 units are being despatched to labs in Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya and Senegal, thanks to funding from GALVmed. This "not for profit" alliance consists of public, private and government partners funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, UK International Development Department and the EU.Animal vaccination to ensure healthy livestock is critical in many African countries.
