DSI to inspect delayed vaccine factory

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) will Tuesday inspect a vaccine factory in Saraburi following complaints about its construction being delayed.

 

Public Health Minister Pradit Sinthawanarong will send a letter to the World Health Organisation (WHO) seeking to clarify whether it has advised the factory to upgrade its Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards because that could affect the construction.
The Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO) is responsible for the construction of the factory in Saraburi’s Kaeng Khoi district. The factory would produce vaccines for influeza and avian flu.
