International pharmaceutical giants Aspen announced an investment of more than R3 billion at a sterile vaccine manufacturing site in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape. This is the single largest investment in the pharmaceutical industry in South Africa.

This is the single largest investment in the pharmaceutical industry in South Africa. The new sterile facility contains high technology, state of the art pharmaceutical equipment and systems that will be used to manufacture advanced sterile medicines, including vaccines.

“This facility will enable Aspen to manufacture multiple and complex sterile products, such as vaccines and Aspen’s global anaesthetics products. It will also ensure quality and security of both domestic and international supply. As South Africa and the world grapple with the management of the Covid-19 coronavirus, it will also meaningfully contribute to the management of this pandemic,” Saad said.

“The majority of the vaccines manufactured at this facility this year will be supplied to South Africa and the member states of the African Union . Government has an agreement with Johnson & Johnson, to deliver more than 30 million doses of the Janssen vaccine to South Africans, with the first deliveries being made next month. The AU will receive 400 million doses.
