Ethiopia’s Ministry of Health has announced that with help from China it will start manufacturing its own Covid test kits this month.
According to a report in the East African, the decision was taken over the weekend as the country surpassed one million tests, the third highest in the continent after South Africa and Morocco.
“The ministry said preparations for the collaboration with China were going well,” the report added.
Ethiopia will no longer import test kits and plans to export their product to other African countries.
