New Chinese-built Vaccine Cold Storage Facility Completed in Egypt on Same Day as Cairo Receives 60 Million Sinovac Jabs

Egypt’s ambition to become an African vaccine manufacturing and distribution hub is now closer to becoming a reality following Saturday’s completion of a new Chinese-built cold storage facility. The new complex, located in 6 October City on the outskirts of Cairo, was built by the Chinese pharmaceutical giant Sinovac which also has a manufacturing agreement in place with Egypt’s state-run VASCERA.

The new facility will soon handle 60 million additional doses of Sinovac’s COVID-19 vaccine that will be provided by the Chinese government, according to a statement by Egyptian Health Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar. (EGYPT TODAY)
