President Abdel Fattah El Sisi attaches great importance to the national project for manufacturing and collecting plasma derivatives, affirmed Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli.

The project aims to achieve self-sufficiency of plasma-derived medicines and products, a matter which will contribute to enhancing the level of medical services provided to citizens, added Madbouli during a meeting held on Sunday evening to follow up on the executive position of the national project for manufacturing and collecting plasma derivatives.

During the meeting, Health and Population Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar tackled the executive status of the project’s infrastructure, including units and centers for collection of plasma derivatives nationwide.
