About the Centre

The BRICS Vaccine Research and Development Centre is a flagship initiative that brings together scientific institutions, public health agencies, and experts from BRICS countries.

The Centre serves as a platform for joint research on vaccine development, production, and distribution, including for emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. It promotes the exchange of knowledge, technology transfer, and the establishment of clinical trial networks across BRICS nations.

By fostering scientific cooperation and supporting regional manufacturing capacities, the Centre contributes to a more resilient global health system, reduces dependency on external sources, and advances the BRICS commitment to accessible and affordable healthcare for all.
