Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov has signed an order on the import of medicines.
According to the agreement on the supply of medicines, import of 300,000 doses of Sputnik V medicine into Azerbaijan will be carried out within 180 days, Trend reports.
The agreement was signed between State Agency for Compulsory Medical Insurance and Russian company HUMAN VACCINE LLC.
