Moscow - SANA

Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko announced that his country supports the idea of ​​lifting the protection of patents on vaccines against Corona virus.

Russia Today quoted Murashko as saying in a speech to the World Health Assembly: "In order to increase the availability of vaccines, Russia supports the idea of ​​lifting the protection of patents on vaccines against the Corona virus."

Murashko indicated that Russia proposes to the World Health Organization to tighten and improve the evaluation process for new drugs and vaccines by the organization to reduce the time for processing applications.

India and South Africa had submitted a proposal to suspend the work of patents on Corona virus drugs at the World Trade Organization during the year 2020, and the proposal won the support of nearly 60 countries, and that reason was the fear that developed countries would significantly outpace other countries in terms of vaccination rates.
