The new CEO of the National Vaccine Institute (NVI), Dr Sodzi Sodzi-Tettey, has pledged the NVI's continued support to various research institutions in Ghana aimed at building their capacity to support the country's efforts to locally manufacture vaccines.
Addressing a delegation from the German Embassy, the European Union (EU), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and Charité Medical Center in Berlin, Germany, he emphasised the need for advanced training frameworks in virology and immunology to bolster vaccine research and production, moving beyond the initial focus on viral diagnostics.
The delegation paid a courtesy call on Dr Sodzi-Tettey at his office at the NVI on Monday, March 24, 2025.
During the meeting, Dr Sodzi-Tettey praised the ongoing research collaboration between Charité Medical Center in Berlin and the Kumasi Center for Collaborative Research (KCCR).
