Four local and international organisations have launched a project to promote timely release and distribution of vaccines in the Sub-region.
The project titled ECOWASRegECs is aimed at strengthening regulatory and ethical oversight for clinical trials, ensuring West Africa is better prepared for future health threats, such as Lassa fever.
