YUGOSLAV VACCINE PROGRAM

12 April 1992

ICN Pharmaceuticals of California and ICN-Galenika are to partly finance a project costing over $100,000 to vaccinate children in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo, reports the Tanjug agency.

Also participating in the program will be the United Nations Industrial, Cultural and Educational Fund, which will supply medicines worth $10,000, the Ministry of Health of the republic of Serbia and the Swiss Poper Foundation, which will provide $35,000. Kosovo is the poorest part of Yugoslavia, and has a birth rate of 27.8 per 1,000, compared to Serbia's 10.4.

- Unless Latvia can come to an agreement on raw materials with Russia and other Commonwealth of Independent States members, its already-limited drug industry will come to a halt, say government officials. Latvia had previously relied on exports from these states, but they now have little to export, and require payment in either hard currency or food.
