World’s first Halal vaccine and insulin plants

Pharmaniaga LifeScience Sdn Bhd (PLS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharmaniaga Berhad (Pharmaniaga) is progressing steadily towards establishing the world’s first Halal vaccine and insulin plants. The Halal biopharmaceutical plants, targeted to be commercialised in 2024 for vaccine and 2025 for insulin, presently construction progress stands at 90% and 70% completion, respectively. Both plants will assist the country to be self-sufficient and reduce import dependency on critical vaccines and insulin. The production of vaccines locally will also help to provide drug security for the nation against any future threats of the pandemic. The Halal vaccine plant is targeted to be ready in Quarter 3 2023, while the Halal insulin plant will be completed in Quarter 4 2023. The entire team has been working tirelessly and remains committed towards achieving this goal.
