The website says you're planning to build your own manufacturing plant. What will that plant do? Will you actually be manufacturing your own medication?
If so, would that include manufacturing the active pharmaceutical ingredients or will you be sourcing them from generic manufacturers and then making the final drugs at your plant?
It will be a sterile fill-finish facility. The facility will fill vials of sterile injectable medicine. Those tend to be the drugs which are most affected by shortages and price gouging overall. The facility will just do finished drug products.
Our initial drugs are supplied on "private label" arrangements where other companies actually do the manufacturing, and we just add our labels and our own NDC code so we can set the price. Since we don't go through middlemen, that price can often times be a lot lower.
We'll have to source API (active pharmaceutical ingredients) elsewhere for now. At some point, would like to completely internalize our supply chain, but one step at a time. :-)
I know this is crazy, but have you talked with Bill Gates?
He planned to pre-fund several coronavirus vaccine manufacturing plans _prior to FDA approval_ just to speed up vaccine production. He expected several of those would end up being wasted money. [1]
