President Rodrigo Duterte will review the recommendations of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to establish the Pharmaceutical Development Center and the Virology Science and Technology (S&T) Institute, his spokesman said Sunday.
Last Friday, the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases approved DOST’s plan to establish research centers that can initiate and strengthen local vaccine development.
This aims to raise the Philippines’ self-reliance and self-sufficiency of vaccines.
Both research centers can start this year when approved by Duterte, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
“We understand that the DOST has included the establishment of the aforesaid research centers in its 2021 Budget Proposal,” added Roque.
