The Kazakhstan ministry of health expects that the Karaganda Pharmaceutical Complex (KPC) will soon begin production of the Russian vaccine against coronavirus Sputnik Light, Bauyrzhan Baiserkin, chairman of the Medical and Pharmaceutical Control Committee of the Ministry of Health of the republic, said at a briefing on Friday.
"The KPC has plans to produce Sputnik Light from a substance that will come from the Russian Federation. We have already registered this vaccine. The issues of permits for the KPC have already been practically solved. Production processes are underway to organize the production of this vaccine. We hope that in the near future Sputnik Light will be produced at Karaganda Pharmcomplex. There are no insurmountable issues," he said.
On July 5, 2021, the Russian Direct Investment Fund reported that the Ministry of Health of Kazakhstan registered the single component vaccine Sputnik Light. On January 11 this year, Karaganda pharmaceutical complex supplied 150 thousand doses of this drug to Kazakhstan.
