Inspection Tour: Textile Factory & Pharmaceuticals Factory Inspected

The Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing took inspection tour of the Tatmadaw Textile Factory (Thamaing) and Myanmar Pharmaceuticals Factory (Insein) on Thursday.

The Senior General heard reports on matters related to the factory, production of quality textile and equipment to meet the demand of the Tatmadaw and the market, arrangements for sales of products to the rural people and ethnic people, production of robes, and staff welfare. In his response, the Senior General stressed that textile factories are built at home to meet the local demand.

Domestic factories need to produce sufficient products to reduce import goods. Quality products must be sent to the domestic market with favourite types. Emphasis must be placed on the production of hotel use products and private utensils for seeking market shares. The government will provide assistance for sown acreage of cotton plantations at home to local farmers.

The Senior General viewed textiles and clothes produced by the factory and the production process of threads and textiles.

At Myanmar Pharmaceuticals Enterprise (Insein), factory manager U Thaung Oo reported production of snake venoms, use of modern machinery, efforts for prevention of environmental impacts, plan to substitute the imported medicines with local ones, assistance for private pharmaceutical factories, and efforts to produce COVID-19 vaccines at home. 

The Senior General said the production of medicines should not focus on just profits but interests for the State and the people. Plans are underway to fully provide healthcare services to people from the whole nation.

The Senior General and party viewed around snake venom section, antibiotic medicine section, quality control section, and medical production and inspected the storage of raw materials, finished goods and package materials.
