WHO Chief calls for equitable distribution of vaccines to end global health crisis

Director General-World Health Organisation, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged countries across the world to share doses for an equitable distribution of vaccines to end global pandemic catastrophe and human sufferings.

DG, WHO

He pleaded countries to contribute a minimum amount of share of vaccines out of their stock to help low-income nations come out of the severe health crisis caused due to SARS-Cov-2 and its variants. Until that is done, world could never approach for a global recovery in coming years.

Access to COVID vaccines in Africa and other low/middle-income nations is critically low and sufficient amount of doses need to cover those regions faster otherwise all the efforts done till date will go in vain. 

Transmission due to newly mutated variants is getting faster as virus is consistently mutating- More transmission, More variants ; Less transmission, Less variants- Dr. Tedros asserted.

Delta is the most transmissible of all the variants identified so far, has been identified in at least 85 countries, and is spreading rapidly among unvaccinated populations. As some countries ease public health and social measures, we are starting to see increases in transmission around the world.  

Equality and access to vaccines is a major issue across many low-or-middle income nations. 

Those developed countries who have sufficiently covered their most expected and vulnerable population could assist these countries in getting shared amount of vaccines for a speedy global recovery. 

WHO's vision to get the whole world safe is still a far achieved dream until we all come together and stand by humanity- 'No one is safe until everyone is safe'. 

"World can only be safe until everyone gets safe"

The worldwide health emergency caused by ‘SARS-CoV-2’ since January 2020, in a lot of ways has brought focus on most of the loopholes regarding our lifestyle and the system that we all are dealing with at present; needs to revamp its core principles and services at a massive scale. Now, more than ever, there is a need of exhaustive collaboration between the governments (Centre and states & states to states), societies, healthcare professionals, financial institutions, social institutions and last but not the least, the citizens of the nation, to carry a new healthy-cum-honest vision & mission, a healthy thought-process, a healthy outlook for life, a healthy revamped system, all-in place with a new approach to deal with any kind of emergencies- health, social, financial, frontiers and so on. One of the creative yet important measures, Google, can work on is- embedding new algorithms within its search tool. This innovative build-up in the search tool must be based on ‘ Probabil...

Imperative steps-in-place on Google's COVID info wall, can advance its relevancy many-folds

Image
It's been over two years now that #COVID has drenched us all from head to toe. Display of information across social media platforms or news channels played a crucial role in guiding people from time to time. Google's search tool, during this outbreak, transformed into a gigantic tool to fetch out relevant, timely and authentic information.  Before punching down itself completely, as experts say, this virus #SARS-CoV-02 will still rule in our lives for at least 2-3 years, though not aggressively.  And thus, it becomes imperative to keep ourselves updated with all the tools we have in-place and in-action.  These updates are crucial and must be enacted in time to produce a solid ground for people, who are looking for information related to vaccines, vaccine centers/PHCs, availability of booster shots, side-effects of vaccines and its treatment, testing centers, and many such relevant topics.  Google can enhance its COVID-info-wall with the following inclusions: 1.

Digital Age Infodemic- Boon or Bane

Image
Age of COVID-19 pandemic, January 2020 onwards, witnessed a great deal in terms of health and social values, forced us to overhaul our daily habits and routines, setting trends of new culture and lifestyle in a more conventional approach with the use of methods and beliefs prevailing thirty-forty decades back (daadi ma ke nuskhey aaj zyada samajh aatey hain), contemplating over use of more innovative tools and concepts to tackle the spread of pandemic and above all absence of verification of news and information shared across various social media platforms, websites and channels- having ability to inflict more disastrous effect on the population turning them into a mindless pot of despair. I, personally, encountered this term ' Infodemic ' lately during this pandemic on World Health Organisation 's website. It raised more curiosity within to lookout when, what and how this term actually came into existence, and guess what, it was startling to see that the whole world was un...
