Meeting Local Needs in Global Times Case of Universal Vaccines in India
|
|
|
|
This article analyses access to stable and affordable supply of vaccines that are
needed for mass immunisation programmes, during the post liberalisation period and
new IPR regimes. The article points out that the Indian experience of sudden shift from
public sector to private sector and preference to public private partnership models at
the cost of public sector has not ensured access to universal vaccines to Indian children.
The lack of good governance, strict regulation and an evidence-based rational national
vaccine policy are major stumbling blocks on the road to a sustainable, affordable stable
universal vaccine supply in India.
