The Minister of Health, Dr. Sabin Nsanzimana, and the Director General of the International Vaccine Institute (IVI), Dr. Jerome H. Kim, have signed an agreement to establish the African branch of the institute, with its headquarters in Rwanda.

The agreement, signed on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, aims to foster cooperation between the two countries.

This agreement comes at a time when Rwanda is constructing the BioNtech plant, which will manufacture various vaccines.

IVI is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocacy for vaccine availability and accessibility for all, through collaboration with research institutions, governments, and pharmaceutical companies.

The organization plays a role in the development of new vaccines, testing, and distribution worldwide.

Founded in 1998, IVI is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea.
