Brazil to Build AIDS Drugs Factory in Mozambique

March 11, 2005

Wednesday in Maputo, Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorin said his country plans to build a pharmaceutical plant in Mozambique to produce generic AIDS drugs. "We already have the financing to carry out feasibility studies for this factory," Amorin said as he wrapped up his one-day visit to the country. Mozambique, like Brazil, was once a colony of Portugal. "Health ministry officials will come to discuss the final details," said Amorin. No date has been set for construction. According to UNAIDS, some 12.2 percent of adults in Mozambique, or 1.3 million people, are living with HIV/AIDS.
