B. Braun Kenya supplies NaCl 2ml diluents for the vaccination campaign in Rwanda
In 2021 Rwanda started a vaccination campaign with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. This vaccine needs to be diluted with NaCl. For this purpose, RMS (Rwanda Medical Supply Ltd) requested for 365.000 vials filled with 2ml of the diluent.
This product is hardly available in Africa, and the matter was urgent. Therefore, B. Braun Kenya rescheduled the production plan of its factory in Nairobi (EPZ). This was not an easy undertaking since it required a comprehensive documentation and release process. With the combined effort of all departments, however, the complete consignment was dispatched to Kigali only 4 weeks after the order.
As a result of this success story B. Braun Kenya won the next contract over 1 million units of the same diluent in December 2021. The first B. Braun trucks have already arrived in Kigali. Meanwhile, B. Braun Kenya and RMS have started talks about the extension of their partnership.
