- Reduced reliance on foreign supply chains for critical medicines.
- Creation of high-skilled jobs in the biotechnology sector.
- Improved public health outcomes through advanced medical treatments.
- Increased collaboration between public and private entities in biopharmaceutical research and development.
Potential Disadvantages
- Potential for bureaucratic inefficiencies in the establishment and operation of the center.
- Risk of funds being mismanaged or allocated to less impactful projects.
