SUMMARY:Protect All People: Accelerating Progress on the COVID Vaccines
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Seed Global Health and The Access Challenge \nProtect All People: Accelerating Progress on the COVID Vaccines\nMay 24\, 2021\nRSVP\n\nAs the world focuses on COVID variants\, vaccine production\, and distribution\, Africa is facing the next great hurdle in its COVID-19 response: vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. Efforts to improve broad vaccine acceptance are falling short\, and the resulting vaccine resistance will thwart distribution plans if it is not addressed. \nHealth workers are uniquely positioned to build vaccine acceptance. Not only do health workers deliver care for COVID patients\, but they can also serve as trusted health messengers who bridge the gap between Government and the community. \nOn the sidelines of the 74th Annual World Health Assembly\, this event – as part of the One by One: Target COVID-19 campaign – will raise the voices of health leaders\, influencers\, and frontline workers who will share their perspectives and recommendations on delivering care and building trust in the context of vaccine resistance. \n\nAre you hosting an event soon?

SUMMARY:Addressing the Ongoing Violence Against Health Care in Conflict and the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Global Health Centre\, Graduate Institute\, Geneva \nAddressing the Ongoing Violence Against Health Care in Conflict and the COVID-19 Pandemic\nMay 24\, 2021\nRSVP\nFrom 2016 to 2020\, there have been more than 4\,000 incidents of violence against health facilities and personnel\, including bombing\, shelling\, setting fire to\, and looting of hospitals\, kidnapping\, arrests and killing of in the past five years\, and attacks on emergency responders and ambulances. In 2020\, additional violence was inflicted in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2016\, the Security Council adopted resolution 2286\, condemning such actions and calling on states to take concrete actions toward stopping the violence and holding perpetrators to account. To date\, however\, there has been little progress in implementing resolution 2286 or reducing the levels of violence. The Global Health Centre\, Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition and the Swiss Confederation are hosting an in-depth discussion on the status of violence against health care in conflict\, particularly in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The event will also highlight the current impediments to further action and identify strategies to address the problem at the global and national levels. \nThe Global Health Centre is organising a series of events during the 74th World Health Assembly Week.
