Geneva 10h August 2015 – DCVMN Member companies have reached an understanding to cooperate in an effort to increase and maintain the number of WHO prequalified vaccines available for international procurement, and to achieve a more sustainable and secure supply of priority vaccines, as identified by global health agencies such as WHO, UNICEF and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. All corporate members are invited to join the effort.
The agreements highlight the principles of Global Access to ensure the development, manufacture and delivery of vaccines available and accessible in terms of quality, quantity and affordability to people in need in the developing world. For that purpose DCVNM members committed to Global Access to vaccines through a Memorandum of Understanding – between DCVMN and Member Companies – that provides a mechanism through which they can work together at both a strategic level and a specific project level.
DCVMN Member Companies share the common goal of protecting people from infectious diseases, by accelerating access to affordable high-quality vaccines: “Our focus is twofold: high-quality vaccines for all people and dialogue with stakeholders, to assist manufacturers in getting the knowledge, tools and skills required to attain and maintain WHO prequalification status giving access to priority vaccines”, emphasized Mahendra Suhardono, President of the Network.
