The cabinet in its Tuesday meeting approved construction of a new pharmaceuticals factory to produce vaccines against human influenza and an avian influenza or bird flu, according to Deputy Government Spokesman Natthawat Suthiyothin.
Last week the World Health Organisation granted Thailand an award of about $2 million toward the project.
According to the project proposed by the Ministry of Public Health, the 1.4 billion baht (about US$41million) facility will be situated in Sara Buri, about 100 kilometres north of Bangkok, Mr Natthawat said.
The National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) has reviewed and approved in principle the plan's overview focusing on major issues including the objectives of the plan and the need for the flu vaccine to be used in the kingdom, as well as its investment worthiness.
The plant is intended to produce both human flu and bird flu vaccines certified by the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) of the World Health Organisation (WHO), the spokesman said. (TNA)
