Value creation from open data growth faces several challenges, e.g; they risk to be too supply-driven, or that they lack of incentives for the re-use. This paper reports an ongoing research/programme on the stimulation role in an open data ecosystem to mitigate these concerns. First, we present the empirical roots of this role that can be drawn from several initiatives undertaken in different countries and trying to bypass the obstacles faced by potential open data re-users. We discuss the importance of a legal framework inductive to foster innovation and transnationality of the re-use. Then, we introduce the BE-GOOD programme which aims to develop new methods to build an open data ecosystem.

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

14. eHealth Strategy and Action Plan of Finland in a European
Context - SWOT – Some examples
Strenghts
• Finland’s way of bringing health and
social care together provides an
excellent setting for other countries
to start thinking about re-design of
the social and health care systems.
Weaknesses
• Of particular concern is how to get
healthcare practitioners to act as
coaches and guides to support
health care improvement (“clinical
champions”), working with
“communities of patients” or
“communities of providers”
Opportunities
• Finland could showcase more widely
its eHealth solutions to other
countries in Europe.
• Compare and contrast Finland’s
approach to those of other countries
Threats
• Pay even more attention to
timeliness and responsiveness
• Pay attention to the risk of data
overload
• Be aware of possible threats to the
information system
