Kuta (Antara Bali) - Indonesian vaccine producer PT Bio Farma will strengthen research facilities and technological processes jointly with universities while developing vaccines.
"If we work on it alone, research on biological products will take up to 15 years. Therefore, technological and research synergy must be conducted to shorten the wait," corporate secretary of PT Bio Farma, Rahman Rustan said here on Wednesday.
The company is currently focusing on vaccine production because demand is high.
Collaboration with universities, other companies, suppliers and marketing agents is needed to strengthen research and technological processes, according to him.
"In developed countries, companies normally conduct research jointly with universities," he added.
He stated that challenges facing the company in producing vaccines include expensive infrastructure, human resources, equipment and raw materials. (DWA/M038)
