COVID-19 vaccination campaigns in the global south have seen unprecedented co-operation between governments and the private sector. While biopharma companies invested in vaccine research, development, and manufacturing; cold chain and logistics companies put in place a secure supply chain and private hospitals ramped up the last mile delivery of these vaccines with capacity building of health workers, digital innovations, community mobilisation, etc.
To understand the contribution of the private sector in the life of a COVID-19 vaccine and their journey in rapid response to the pandemic, USAID and PSI, in partnership with Express Healthcare, bring to you a session with private sector leaders on their role during the COVID-19 vaccination as a part of the City-to-City Learning Exchange (CoVLEx) initiative. The perspectives of both policymakers and the private sector will be captured and will form some key critical lessons for various stakeholders in the global south.
