Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates visited vaccine-makers Biological E in Hyderabad on Thursday. During the visit, he met Mahima Datla, Managing Director of Biological E, and appreciated the company’s efforts to supply effective and affordable vaccines, according to a release.
“We are proud to tie-up with Biological E because its innovative approaches are saving and improving lives everyday,’’ Gates said during the meeting.
Mahima Datla said that her company was committed to manufacturing quality vaccines at prices that make them one of the most cost-effective investments in global health. Gates, whose visit was kept a secret and out of bounds for the media, also visited the Icrisat campus here.
