After only 5 months, VNVC has reached a comprehensive technology transfer agreement with Medsintez - a major Russian pharmaceutical company, to soon bring to Vietnam the world's leading producer of advanced biological drugs from Russia for the treatment of diabetes, obesity, vascular diseases, viral diseases, especially the treatment of dengue fever.
Immediately after the signing, Medsintez and VNVC will carry out the steps of transferring Medsintez's advanced biological drug production technology at the VNVC Vaccine and Food Factory, cooperate in researching, developing and clinically researching new drugs and vaccines, and distributing Medsintez's high-quality pharmaceutical products in Vietnam and ASEAN countries.
