History

The appointment of Indonesia as OIC Centre of Excellence (COE) on Vaccines and Biotechnology Products:

The start of the establishment of CoE for Vaccines and Biotechnology Products was based on the adoption of Resolution No. 3/3-ICHM on Self-Reliance in Production of Medicines and Vaccines at the 3^rdSession of the ICHM (Islamic Conference of Health Ministers) in Kazakhstan in 2011.

As a form of follow-up, the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries in OIC countries held a meeting in Dubai in February 2013 and recommended the design of short-term, medium-term and long-term programs that can be used as a reference for activities to support the resolution. The second meeting of the pharmaceutical and vaccine industry was held in Bandung in June 2013 and formalized the formation of the Vaccine Manufacturer Group (VMG) which is responsible for coordinating and following up on the program implementation.

At the 4^thSession of ICHM in October 2013, Indonesia submitted itself as a Center of Excellence (COE) on Vaccines and Biotechnology Products for OIC member states. This is in tandem with Indonesia’s capacity as one of the only two countries in OIC that has WHO pre-qualified vaccine products.

In 2017, the 6^th ICHM recognized Indonesia as OIC COE on Vaccines and Biotechnology Products and approved its TOR. The 6^th ICHM also adopted Resolution No. 4/6-ICHM on Self-Reliance in Supply and Production of Medicines, Vaccines, and Medical Technologies.

The Center of Excellence (COE) on Vaccines and Biotechnology Products was officially launched in 2018 by the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Its scope of cooperation includes building human resource capacity, technology transfer, and funding.
