Russia to supply up to 25 million doses of Sputnik V vaccine to Nepal
MOSCOW. Russia intends to deliver up to 25 million doses of its Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19 to Nepal, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Second Asian Department Director Zamir Kabulov said.
“I want to note that other countries in the region, such as Nepal, are showing great interest in the supplies of the Russian vaccine. A Nepalese pharmaceutical company has signed a memorandum with the Russian Direct Investment Fund, under which up to 25 million doses of Sputnik V can be delivered to the Himalayan republic,” Kabulov said.
In late-September 2020, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) announced that Nepal would receive 25 million doses of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine against COVID-19, enabling 90 percent of the South Asian country’s population to have access to the vaccine. (Sputnik)
