IA2030 Lightning chat: Integration of immunization with other health services with Laura Nic Lochlainn (WHO)

Topic: Integration of immunization with other health services

Guest: Laura Nic Lochlainn (WHO)

Join Charlotte Mbuh and Reda Sadki from The Geneva Learning Foundation to learn about the world's new vision and strategy for the future of immunization.

Immunization is one of the best health investments money can buy.

Yet despite tremendous progress, far too many people around the world – including nearly 20 million infants each year – have insufficient access to vaccines.

In some countries, progress has stalled or even reversed, and there is a real risk that complacency will undermine past achievements.

To address these challenges over the next decade, a new global vision and strategy titled ‘Immunization Agenda 2030: A Global Strategy to Leave No One Behind (IA2030)’ has been endorsed by the World Health Assembly.

For COVID-19 vaccine introduction to succeed, we need new ways to disseminate rapid learning.

The Geneva Learning Foundation is honored to share with you the following invitation of Dr. Daniel Asomaning, COVID-19 Peer Hub Team Leader for Ghana, and Martha Ngoe, COVID-19 Peer Hub Team Leader for Anglophones in Cameroon.

The Ghana Team of the COVID-19 Peer Hub will welcome their colleagues from Cameroon in a special session to share experiences of COVID-19 vaccine rollout.

Participants include health professionals directly involved in COVID-19 vaccine introduction from all levels of the health system, and from government, private, and civil society.

COVID-19 Peer Hub Members and friends from all countries are welcome to listen in.

Other COVID-19 Peer Hub country teams are organizing similar inter-country exchanges, in response to their own needs, building on what they have learned as Scholars about the value of digital networks to strengthen and accelerate their response to the pandemic, from recovery to vaccine introduction.

COVID-19 vaccine introduction: Lessons learned from the first Inter-Country Peer Learning Collaborative

Join us for a quick recap in English of the COVID-19 Peer Hub's first Inter-Country Peer Learning Exchange between Alumni from Côte d'Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Charlotte Mbuh and Dr Palenfo Dramane, who are facilitating this Inter-Country Peer Learning Exchange, will share the first lessons learned from this exchange.

On Saturday, March 27, 2021, the COVID-19 Scholar Peer Hub team from the Democratic Republic of Congo took the initiative to invite their colleagues from Côte d'Ivoire, asking the latter to share their experience in introducing the COVID-19 vaccine.

They are continuing their dialogue, and alumni from other countries are preparing similar exchanges.

We are pleased to welcome Dr Julie Jacobson to our 15-minute Global Health Symposium.

Julie Jacobson is a global health leader and physician with a life-long commitment to addressing complex public health problems with creative problem solving, innovation, and development of collaborative partnerships for delivering global results. Now a founding Partner of Bridges to Development, Julie has contributed to a new global recognition of the out-sized burden of Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) on women in Africa and its overlap or increased risks related to HIV, HPV and STIs.

FGS has been described as the one of the most neglected sexual and reproductive health issues in sub-Saharan Africa with an estimated 56 million women and girls infected.

The suffering of women and girls due to FGS can be reduced and even avoided.

What is the "15-minute Global Health Symposium?" In today's world of knowledge abundance, we believe that the 60-minute presentation webinar is not only boring but also ineffective. Instead, in just 15 minutes, we strive to provide what you need to answer two questions: 1) Is this relevant to my work and my learning and 2) If it is, how can I learn more?
