According to Madeswi, BVI can only remain globally competitive by ensuring competitive supply of high-quality products at adequate levels of complexity and agility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuality will be assured through strict adherence to international standards, sound quality management systems and a customer-centric approach. As a global player in the manufacture and distribution of vaccines, BVI must meet evolving market demands and position itself as a centre of excellence in research and development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
