In the alleged footsteps of Bangladesh, another South Asian nation Nepal too has secured China’s Sinopharm doses at $ 10 each, according to media, reports adding fresh controversy to Sri Lanka’s payment of $ 15.
The Kathmandu Post in a report, quoting officials, has indicated that the country is likely to get four million Sinopharm doses at $ 10 each though it said price was yet to be fixed.
However leak of alleged price of $ 10 per dose has irked China, according to a report filed by India’s livemint.com.
It said China was unhappy with Nepal after some media publications disclosed the procurement price of Sinopharm vaccine amounting to around $ 10 per dose which Kathmandu is planning to buy from Beijing to tackle the second wave of COVID-19.
It was reported that four million doses of the Chinese Sinopharm vaccine would be bought under a non-disclosure agreement by Nepal, as proposed by Sinopharm, to keep the details including the price and delivery date under wraps.
