China will be the largest provider of vaccines in the near future - Bill Gates

According to Bill Gates, the scientific breakthrough in China can help Africa and the least developed countries in the fight against epidemics, hunger and poverty. "Breakthrough in science and technology, which are in China, can help poor people to lead healthier, more productive lives," said Bill Gates, who is also a co-chair of the American Foundation Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

In his opinion, China for three decades brought 600 million people from poverty through innovation in health and agriculture. "We see this, for example, in the development of vaccines, where China is becoming the leader," said Bill Gates.

In the near future China could become the largest provider of vaccines, says the U.S. billionaire. In addition to medicine, Gates believes that Chinese innovations in crop improvement will help reduce hunger in Africa, where agricultural productivity is low.

The Chinese government is working closely with the U.S. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in the field of agriculture, development and production of vaccines against major infectious diseases.
