When Ghana established the National Vaccine Institute (NVI) after COVID-19, it wasn’t just about health, it was a national security decision.
The pandemic exposed Africa’s dependence on external vaccine supply, making local production not just desirable but essential for sovereignty and resilience.

The institutional bottlenecks, from regulatory readiness to human capital, threatening Africa’s manufacturing ecosystem.
