The production and control of biologicals sufficient to meet the needs of the countries in the Americas has been of basic concern to the Pan American Health Organization for many years. This is evidenced by the Ten-Year Health Plan for the Americas, drawn up in Santiago, Chile in 1972 by the Health Ministers of the Americas, in which the goal of making the Region self-sufficient in all of the essential immunizing agents within a ten-year period, was established. At present only Canada and the United States are more or less self-sufficient in this regard. All of the others are, to a greater or lesser degree, dependent on imports. In PAHO's present program the greatest emphasis is being placed on the development of effective control systems, particularly at the national level. The steps taken to achieve this goal and the progress to date are outlined.
多年来，生产和控制足以满足美洲各国需求的生物制品一直是泛美卫生组织的基本关切事项。1972年在智利圣地亚哥由美洲各国卫生部长制定的《美洲十年卫生计划》就证明了这一点，该计划确立了在十年内使该区域在所有基本免疫制剂方面实现自给自足的目标。目前，在这方面只有加拿大和美国或多或少实现了自给自足。其他所有国家在不同程度上都依赖进口。在泛美卫生组织目前的计划中，最大的重点是发展有效的控制系统，特别是在国家一级。文中概述了为实现这一目标所采取的步骤以及迄今取得的进展。
