Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined some of the key issues involving vaccine availability for children in developing countries, focusing on the: (1) locations where shortfalls in immunization coverage are most prevalent; and (2) factors that impede vaccine availability in these locations. GAO noted that: (1) while global immunization coverage for six diseases originally targeted by the World Health Organization (WHO) has improved significantly since the mid-1970s, coverage rates are low for children living in the poorest countries, particularly in urban slums and remote rural areas; (2) WHO data indicate that the poorest countries of the world have vaccination rates that are about 26 percent below the global average of 82 percent; (3) in fact, immunization coverage in some countries in sub-Saharan Africa has declined over the last decade; (4) some countries in this region reported in 1997 that they immunized less than a third of their children against the six diseases targeted by WHO; (5) many of the children who are not immunized live in countries that have experienced internal conflict in recent years; (6) although the level of coverage varies, few children in developing countries have access to the newer vaccines that have been added more recently to WHO's list of recommended vaccines; (7) several interrelated factors that poor countries have difficulty overcoming have limited the availability of vaccines for children in the developing world, including: (a) inadequate health infrastructure; (b) the relatively higher cost of vaccines recently recommended by WHO; (c) insufficient information on disease burden and vaccine efficacy; and (d) changing priorities of international donors; and (8) in the 1990s, the United Nations Children's Fund and the U.S. Agency for International Development have begun to reduce their level of support for immunization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While international initiatives have increased the percentage of children immunized against six serious diseases' to a global average of 80 percent, many countries have immunization rates far below the global average. In addition, many have not expanded their immunization programs to include newer vaccines that the World Health Organization (WHO) now recommends for use in developing countries. These shortfalls have severe consequences-WHO estimates that at least 4 million deaths each year among children in developing countries can be linked to these children's lack of access to vaccines. In response to your concern about these shortfalls, we recently issued a report entitled Global Health: Factors Contributing to Low Vaccination Rates in Developing Countries (GAO/NSIAD-00-4, Oct. 15, 1999). In that report, we identified a number of factors that limit access to vaccines for children in developing countries, including (1) shifting donor priorities, (2) inadequate infrastructure and insufficient information for decision- making and (3) the relatively high cost of newer vaccines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors use cross-national social, political, economic, and institutional data to explain why some countries have stronger immunization programs than others, as measured by diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) and measles vaccine coverage rates and the adoption of the hepatitis B vaccine. After reveiwing the existing literature on demand- and supply-side side factors that affect immunization programs, the authors find that the elements that most affect immunization programs in low- and middle-income countries involve broad changes in the global policy environment and contact with international agencies. Democracies tend to have lower coverage rates than autocracies, perhaps because bureaucratic elites have an affinity for immunization programs and are granted more autonomy in autocracies, althought this effect is not visible in low-income countries. The authors also find that the quality of a nation's institutions and its level of development are strongly related to immunization rate coverage and vaccine adoption, and that coverage rates are in general more a function of supply-side than demand effects. there is no evidence that epidemics or polio eradication campaigns affect immunization rates one way or another, or that average immunization rates increase following outbreaks of diphtheria, pertussis, or measles.

This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is divided into eleven chapters. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 present analyses of the concepts of public health, sustainability and policy change. Chapters 4 and 5 describe the stakeholder analysis and national health accounts frameworks. These chapters determine the attributes, characteristics and other features of these concepts and frameworks. The aim is to improve general clarity and understanding of these concepts and frameworks that contribute to the Sustainability Impact Assessment framework and the case study methodological approach that exemplifies its role in sustainability assessment of policy change in immunization systems. Chapter 6 outlines the Sustainability Impact Assessment framework itself, setting out the steps involved in a typical SIA with examples of methodologies used in the case study. Chapter 7 describes the case study methodological approach including its rationale and components. Chapter 8 outlines the application context of the case study with emphasis on the country's immunization system. Chapters 9 and 10 describe the application scenarios of the methodological approach, detailing the stakeholder analysis and resource map assessment processes. The summary and conclusions of the book are provided in Chapter 11. This chapter reviews the contributions of the Sustainability Impact Assessment framework and case study methodological approach, providing additional discussion of relevant issues and some directions for future work.

This book was released on 2011-10-07 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production delays for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic vaccine using the current egg-based production technology heightened interest in alternative technologies that could expand the supply or accelerate the availability of influenza vaccine. Within the federal government, the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Dept. of Defense (DOD) support the development of technologies that can be used in producing technologies that can be used in producing influenza vaccines. HHS’s Food and Drug Admin. (FDA) reviews licensing applications for new vaccine, and the Dept. of State is the U.S. diplomatic liaison to the international entity that declares worldwide pandemics. This report examines (1) federal funding from FY 2005 through March 2011 for alternative technologies and the status of manufacturers’ efforts, (2) challenges to development and licensure identified by stakeholders, and (3) how HHS is addressing those challenges. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adulteration and fraudulent manufacture of medicines is an old problem, vastly aggravated by modern manufacturing and trade. In the last decade, impotent antimicrobial drugs have compromised the treatment of many deadly diseases in poor countries. More recently, negligent production at a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy sickened hundreds of Americans. While the national drugs regulatory authority (hereafter, the regulatory authority) is responsible for the safety of a country's drug supply, no single country can entirely guarantee this today. The once common use of the term counterfeit to describe any drug that is not what it claims to be is at the heart of the argument. In a narrow, legal sense a counterfeit drug is one that infringes on a registered trademark. The lay meaning is much broader, including any drug made with intentional deceit. Some generic drug companies and civil society groups object to calling bad medicines counterfeit, seeing it as the deliberate conflation of public health and intellectual property concerns. Countering the Problem of Falsified and Substandard Drugs accepts the narrow meaning of counterfeit, and, because the nuances of trademark infringement must be dealt with by courts, case by case, the report does not discuss the problem of counterfeit medicines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in the republican history of Peru, the presidential transition takes place in democracy, social peace, fast economic growth and favorable world markets. In other words, there has never been a better chance to build a different Peru - a richer country, more equal and governable. There are multiple ways to achieve that goal. New reforms must stem from a widespread and participatory debate, one of a common vision conceived for and by Peruvians. This book aims at making a technical and independent contribution to such debate; it summarizes the knowledge available about the challenges to be faced by the new administration. The study does not recommend silver bullets, but suggests policy options. It is based on the analysis of the current reality and in six decades of relationships with Peru, in which the Bank has implemented more than 100 projects and prepared more than 500 technical reports covering the wide range of development topics. When necessary, the study provides lessons that the Bank has learned elsewhere. The study provides a conceptual framework to the analysis of the country's 34 economic sectors and the two historical perspectives behind them. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive reform agenda that sheds light on possible priorities and courses of action.
