Cuba to conduct vaccine trials in Malaysia
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is allowing Cuba to conduct clinical trials on vaccines as part of efforts to promote co-operation in the pharmaceutical industry.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who met visiting Cuban First Vice-President Raul Castro here yesterday, hoped the co-operation would boost bilateral trade, which came to only RM7mil last year.
“The deal will include procurement, manufacturing and research and development in vaccines and pharmaceutical products.
“Cuba feels that our country is unique for conducting clinical trials because we abide by global standards and because of the composition of our society,” he told reporters after the meeting.
