DID Press: Construction has begun on three new production blocks at Avison Pharma, a pharmaceutical factory in Herat, with an investment of $30 million, the Herat provincial governor’s press office announced.

During the same ceremony, the factory’s new intravenous (IV) fluids and injectable medicines production line was inaugurated. The line has a stated capacity of 100,000 IV fluid packages per day.

According to the published information, the three new blocks will be built on a 3,000-square-metre site, with each structure comprising five floors.
