Myanmar is undergoing a significant political and socio-economic transformation. While expectations for growth and development are high, the new Government is challenged with consolidating democracy and building a culture of respect for human rights, reconciliation, sustainable development and peace.
The report of the State Coordination Committee meeting of NACDOR led National Campaign on Nutrition for Dignity shows the current challenges in nutrition of Dalit and Adivasis as felt by activists in the state of Gujarat.
Background: Covid-19 an illness caused by SARS- COV-2 virus, it has killed millions of people all over the world and has wreaked havoc in India too. Even today there is no confirmed drug that can successfully tackle the illness. According to WHO, efficient vaccines and equitable access to them is vital to curbing the Covid-19 pandemic.
Materials and Methods: With the help of a semi-structured question guide, six focus group discussions were conducted in several villages in East Khasi hills Meghalaya, each focus group had 6-12 participants, thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.
Results: Most of the villagers are affected by covid-19 and the lockdown measures to curb it, but their perceptions on vaccinations were negative. Certain thematic areas that seemed to repeat were, religious beliefs, lack of awareness, individual freedom to choose, not feeling like they require it as they are just agricultural laborers, fear of side effects, and the prevalence of negative propaganda on social media. Most believe if it’s mandatory to take the vaccine everyone would take it. Few village heads suggested better awareness might be able to convince a few.
Conclusion: The majority said they were not ready to get vaccinated, and cited religion and individual freedom to choose as the reasons for their reluctance. Health awareness programs and more pro vaccine governmental policies may help improve coverage.

Socio-Economic Effect of HIV/AIDS on Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Nyami...paperpublications3
Since the first case of HIV/AIDS was reported in Kenya in 1984 the numbers of those infected have risen and many people have since died or are living with the HIV/AIDS since the epidemic started in 1980s in the drug injecting people and the homosexuals. These deaths have resulted in Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, with one of the objective of finding out the socio-economic effect of HIV/AIDS on Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Nyamira district. A sample of 384 people participated in the study. The people were through simple random selected from Bonyegwe sublocation of Nyamusi division. Semi-structured interview schedules were used in data collection from the households. To remove ambiguity, the research tools were pre-tested to both HIV/AIDS organizations and householders not in the sample population but with similar characteristics. The research tools were refined and used on the actual sample population. Text, graphs, figures and tables were used in data presentation. The study indicates that those people who had not attained any level of formal education were (17%). The study revealed that householders (40%) had higher proportion of secondary education as compared with members of HIV/AIDS organizations (37%). Most of the members of HIV/AIDS organizations (89%) indicated that farming is their main source of income and a cushion for food security as compared with householders (63%). The ministry of health should strengthen provision of PMTCT services at the ANC clinic so that we prevent more cases of orphans and vulnerable children. The study suggests that in future all mothers who test positive for HIV virus should be put on treatment in order to reduce defaulters at the same time reach sustainable coverage in the provision of HIV/AIDS services to the orphans and vulnerable children in the society.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Amarpura (District Karauli)
November 26, 2016
Jointly Organized by :
2. After the successful completion of first workshop in Jaipur on October 24, 2016, and second workshop
in village Tejakavas of Kotra Block in Udaipur district on November 22, 2016, a public programme and
street play on the subject were organized at Amrapura village of Karanpurpanchayatsamiti in Karauli
district on November 26, 2016.
Lok Samvad Sansthan, a leading media advocacy based non-government organization based in Jaipur,
in partnership with the UNICEF Rajasthan Office, has launched a unique drive to orient and facilitate
the health beat reporters of various newspapers, television news channels and magazines as well media
professionals to have an improved understanding about routine immunization. The emphasis is on
understanding the prevalent conditions which make an impact on the current uptake among children
across the state of Rajasthan. This special initiative is being undertaken by organizing a series of
workshops in Jaipur and some other districts of Rajasthan.
Apart from mediapersons from the Karauli district headquarter, the villagers evinced a keen interest in the
programme and attended it in a large number. The media and public engagement was achieved through
demonstration and direct interaction, which was followed by a street play which served the dual purpose
of entertainment and education of the masses.
Building a strong routine immunization programme as an integral part of the health system is a develop-
ment challenge that requires a systems approach. A cohesive, well-functioning immunization programme
includes many components, all of which dynamically interact to influence the accessibility, availability,
acceptability, and affordability of services, with a desired result of continuous coverage, improved service
quality, equity, and sustained disease control. Needless to say, the media plays a significant role in this
entire exercise.
INTRODUCTION
The significant initiative, which will continue in other districts during December 2016, is expected to build
up a core network of media reporting on routine immunization and generate awareness in the public at
large on the subject.
3. Journalists at Karauli district headquarter evinced a keen interest in attending the demonstration during
field visit and travelled a distance of 80 km to reach Karanpur Panchayat Samiti, where Amrapura village
is situated. Ten journalists including, two journalists from electronic media, from Karauli and two
journalists from Keladevi Tehsil and one journalist from Karanpur block participated in the event, taking
their total number to 13.
PROCEEDINGS OF EVENT
The organizers contacted CMHO, Dr. Ramroop Meena, RCHO, Dr.Shriphool Meena and Block RCHO
Dr.Mukeshni Meena, but due to some emergency in the adjoining hospital, they were not able to attend
the event. They deputed Block Development Co-ordinator, Yajvendra Kumar Tiwari, to attend the event.
Journalists representing Hindi dailies Rajasthan Patrika and Dainik Bhaskar in Karanpur tehsil were also
invited to the workshop
IEC Coordinator from CMHO office at Karauli, Mr. Shiv Kumar Sharma, also attended the event. Besides,
Dr. Kamal Kant Trivedi from the Community Health Centre, Sapotra, was present. In all, the three events
– awareness generation, street play and and presentation on the routine immunization theme – were
presented by the Jan Kala SahityaManch. A huge gathering of rural men and women as well as the
curious children was present on the occasion.
The event started began with a brief introduction
on routine immunization process. During the
end of the event it was brought out that the
routine immunization rate is much higher in girls
than in boys. The reason was attributed to
various promotional schemes of the government
for girls, because of which the rural couples
bring their girl children for vaccination.
4. The media persons, who were are keen to
know about immunization process in the
rural areas, were informed that the current
status of full immunization is 77.4%, while
for the first time block-wise status has
been identified.
The Nukkad Natak through participation
method explained the full course
comprises three vaccines at birth, two
each at six, 10 and 16 weeks. After nine
months, a child gets the first dose of
measles vaccine & 1,00,000 international
units of vitamin A. If a child gets these vaccines for BCG, hepatitis B, oral and intravenous polio vaccines,
pentavalent (a vaccine for diptheria), pertusis (whooping cough), tetanus, hepatitis B and haemophilus
influenza, then he or she is considered fully immunized.
Children who have not taken even a single vaccine are categorized as leftovers. This category is less
than 4 % of the eligible children in Rajasthan. The State Government's Medical and Health Department is
working closely with UNICEF for taking the immunization figure to 100 %. Wherever the people are not
fully aware, activities such as street plays are being taken up to popularize immunization.
From the media brief given to the media persons, it was explained about the cold chain with which the
vaccines are supplied to the target groups in the cities, villages and far-off regions, it was stated
maintaining the potency of vaccines while they are carried was a big challenge. There are 2,181 cold
chain points in Rajasthan for storage of vaccine. There are contingency plans for preservation of vaccines
if power goes off at these storage points. The process of maintaining cold chain in them was explained to
the participants.
5. From among the audience, Mr. Satish Meena and Mr. Duleechand complained that no one had come to
the village for carrying out vaccination of children. It was then clarified that a mobile van carrying the
vaccines had been arranged and the ANMs were going from door to door to identify the children eligible
for immunization. A woman, Ms. Maya, said the residents of the village were getting cards for vaccination.
While some of the women complained that the nurse was not coming regularly, Ms. Sapna said she had
got complete vaccination for her child.
Several villagers pointed out that they were not regularly following the immunization schedule because
their children developed fever after the first or second dose of vaccination. ANMs Srishti and Tulsi
provided useful information on immunization
A positive aspect of the immunization activity is the increasing number of girls turning up for it. Villagers
pointed out that several schemes of the State Government, including Raj Shri, had the provision for
payment of money for the girl children, which was acting as an incentive for immunization of girls.
The prominent speakers who addressed the workshop were the noted journalist from Jaipur, Mr. Ashok
Chaturvedi, Jan Kala Sahitya Manch convenor Mr. Subhash Sharma, Block Programme Officer
Mr.Yajvendra Kumar Tiwari and IEC Coordinator Mr. Shiv Kumar Sharma. Their speeches made a
significant impact and left a lasting impression among the audience. Mr.Chaturvedi pointed out that the
6. reports of immunization were sent from all districts to the State Capital, Jaipur, and from Jaipur to New
Delhi. He said the people in Karauli district should play special attention to vaccination of their children,
as the graph in the district was quite low. Lok Samvad Sansthan's Secretary, Mr. Kalyan Singh Kothari,
said a large number of youths become disabled or mentally retarded as they do not get proper
vaccination during their childhood.
A special feature of the event was the entertaining
street play which capitivated the audience and
conveyed the intended message to them in a very
effective manner. The artistes of the play included
Mr. Mukesh Bairwa, Mr. Hanuman Bairwa,
Ms. Monika Saini, Mr.Malkhan, Ms.Manisha Soni,
Mr.ShabhuDayal and Mr.Kamaluddin, who played
different roles. Along with the play, the artistes sang
the song in chaste Rajasthani language: Mohan
Mharo, Man Bahlau Li. Chokhi Lyajo Moongphali,
Man Bhar Khaungi.
7. The workshop, which was accompanied by the entertaining street play, ended with a note of satisfaction,
as it provided very useful information and generated awareness among the residents of Amrapura village.
All the aspects of the routine immunization programme were highlighted during the workshop. These
aspects included maximizing the reach of quality vaccines through a well-functioning supply and cold
chain system, managing programmes with strong management support, mobilising people to generate
demand through community engagement and monitoring the programme's performance with rigorous
disease surveillance, data analysis and evaluation.
CONCLUSION
Strengthening routine immunization system performance and monitoring, as part of a functioning health
system, is the foundation to achieving immunization goals. As with the cold chain, strengthened capacity
through constant attention, maintenance, and repair is needed for sustained, effective, and efficient
performance of the entire programme. The substantial accomplishment of routine immunization
programmes in the past does not guarantee success in the future.
Despite encouraging results in the past, the routine immunization programme must still learn to adapt in
order to overcome persistent challenges and seize new opportunities. It should engage better with broader
efforts, such as using information technology more effectively, to ensure that immunization is well-
addressed. Immunization is one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. Not only
does vaccination reduce death and disability from an increasing number of diseases, studies have shown
that it also increases life expectancy and contributes to a more productive workforce.
Routine Immunization services are a cornerstone of the health system and a basic public good that virtually
all governments provide to their populations. Routine services are the foundation of other immunization
efforts, including specific disease control initiatives, introduction of new vaccines and periodic campaigns to
improve vaccination coverage. They are also the primary way to reach new generations of children as early
in life as possible, preventing disease and protecting individuals and communities from premature death
and suffering. Routine immunization services are often the first, and sometimes only, interaction that poor f
amilies have with preventive health services. They are a largely untapped opportunity for addressing other
health needs in a state like Rajasthan.
