The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated a network of regional training centres for biomanufacturing across all six WHO regions, marking a significant step forward in strengthening the global workforce needed to produce vaccines, biotherapeutics, and other biological products. The designation was part of the WHO Biomanophobic Workforce Training Initiative established in 2023. The training centres will provide context-specific training aligned with regional priorities, regulatory environments, and languages, expanding access to training and fostering collaboration across countries. They will operate independently under agreed frameworks to ensure quality, alignment and accountability. The initiative supports World Health Assembly resolution WHA74.6 on strengthening local production of medicines and other health technologies.
