India needs to develop a care ecosystem
(The Hindu, 28-08-24)

- This is below the world average of 47.8% (2022).

What are the main barriers to women’s economic participation in India?
- The disproportionately high burden of care within the family.
- Responsibilities include childcare, care for elderly, sick, and disabled family members.
- Women aged 15-64 years spend about three times more time daily than men on unpaid domestic work.
What initiatives are being taken to address childcare needs?
- Some state governments are building support services through the existing Anganwadi network.
- The 2024-25 Budget increased the Ministry of Women and Child Development’s budget for integrated childcare and nutrition by 3%.
- Different models of community-based creches are operational in parts of some states.
What is needed to create a comprehensive care ecosystem?
- Develop a needs-based assessment of care services across age groups, socio-economic status, and geographies.
- Map supply-side actors and institutions across public, private, and non-profit sectors.
- Address the gap in training, skilling, and certification of care workers.

Advancing equity, from COVID-19 to Mpox
(The Hindu, 28-08-24)
What is the current situation with the mpox outbreak?
- WHO has declared mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
- The outbreak started in the Democratic Republic of Congo and has spread to over a dozen African countries.
- Cases have been identified in Sweden, Pakistan, and the Philippines, indicating global spread.
- AfricaCDC estimates 10 million vaccine doses are needed, but only 0.21 million are immediately available.
How does the mpox response compare to the COVID-19 pandemic?
- A vaccine (MVA-BN) is already available for mpox, unlike the early stages of COVID-19.
- The global response appears to be following a similar trajectory in terms of vaccine manufacturing capabilities in the Global South.
- There’s a lack of technology transfers and know-how to produce vaccines developed in the West.
What role can India play in the mpox vaccine production?
- Indian manufacturers have the potential to ensure equitable access to the MVA-BN vaccine.
- Three major vaccine manufacturers (Serum Institute of India, Bharat Biotech, and Zydus Cadila) have experience producing vaccines using CEF cells.
- These manufacturers could leverage their expertise to quickly scale up MVA production.
- India’s lower cost structure could reduce vaccine prices, increasing accessibility.
What steps are needed to scale up mpox vaccine production in India?
- Comprehensive technology transfer, including biological resources, know-how, and patents.
- Collaboration between the Indian government, regulators, and international organizations to negotiate with Bavarian Nordic for technology transfer.
- The Indian drug regulatory agency (CDSCO) has waived clinical trial requirements for drugs approved in certain countries, which could expedite vaccine availability.
- Leveraging expertise and experiences of organizations like WHO, Gavi, and CEPI to scale low-cost production.
Can you answer the following question?
Discuss the challenges and opportunities in ensuring equitable access to vaccines during public health emergencies, drawing parallels with the COVID-19 pandemic response.
