She will assume the role on April 1, 2026.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Bear joins Jhpiego with 25 years of experience in the global health sector, most recently serving as founder and CEO of the Baltimore-based public health consultancy Vennhealth. Throughout her career, she has led strategic and evaluative initiatives that have shaped major global health programs and investments. Notable achievements include revising USAID’s maternal and child health investment frameworks to align with the Sustainable Development Goals, evaluating USAID’s flagship maternal and child health program, and designing a $1 billion successor strategy. In addition, she led the evaluation of the $3.5 billion Feed the Future nutrition portfolio, providing evidence that informed its Congressional reauthorization.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“The throughline of Allyson’s professional trajectory has been a profound commitment to alleviating human suffering and promoting human dignity and health for all—a background that aligns deeply with Jhpiego’s longstanding mission to provide access to lifesaving health care where it is needed most,” said Johns Hopkins University President Ron Daniels in an email to the Johns Hopkins University community. “She brings a proven track record in strategic growth, innovation, and resource mobilization across the global health, economic development, and humanitarian sectors.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Bear began her career focused on global market shaping and scale-up efforts, starting with Gavi’s PneumoADIP and Hib Initiative, where she provided technical assistance to Ministries of Health for vaccine rollout and impact evaluations. From 2009 to 2015, she worked at USAID, leading the development of flagship U.S. Government health initiatives. She has also held leadership positions at Corus International and Abt Associates, managing global health and economic development portfolios across West Africa, francophone Central Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Bear has worked in more than 45 countries worldwide, including 11 years of residence in multiple countries throughout Africa and Asia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“It has been a privilege to lead Jhpiego over the last 25 years, and I could not be more confident as I pass the baton to Dr. Allyson Bear,” said Dr. Leslie Mancuso, outgoing president and CEO of Jhpiego. “Her commitment to improving global health and her thoughtful, values-driven leadership give me great optimism for the future of the organization.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Bear will succeed Dr. Leslie Mancuso, who has led Jhpiego since 2001 and announced her planned retirement in 2024. Under Dr. Mancuso’s leadership, Jhpiego has evolved from an organization with four core programs focused on family planning and cervical cancer prevention into one of the world’s most respected global health entities, now operating in 39 countries.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about Dr. Bear, \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/03/17/allyson-bear-named-jhpiego-president-ceo/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/03/17/allyson-bear-named-jhpiego-president-ceo/\">read the Johns Hopkins University Hub article here.\u003C/a>\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Johns Hopkins University has announced that Dr. Allyson Bear will be Jhpiego’s next president and CEO.

According to the WHO, over 300 million people are living with hepatitis B and C globally, and over 1.3 million die each year from the complications of the disease. Despite the availability of tools and solutions to efficiently tackle viral hepatitis, most countries are far from reaching the 2030 goals to eliminate the virus-caused disease due to programmatic, policy and access barriers.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To stimulate discussions and actions from global stakeholders, share evidence and experiences, and disseminate best practices in the fight against viral hepatitis, the World Hepatitis Alliance, the World Health Organization, and the Government of Portugal hosted a Summit in April 2024 in Lisbon. Over 600 delegates from 95 countries joined in person and virtually, including Jhpiego representatives who shared their work and learnings on efforts to strengthen health services to address Hepatitis C in Nigeria.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nigeria is one of 10 countries that bears the biggest burden of hepatitis B and C. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.afro.who.int/countries/nigeria/news/nigeria-boosting-viral-hepatitis-awareness-and-treatment-0#:~:text=More%20than%2090%20million%20people,%2C%202018%20(NAIIS%202018).\">Over 20 million people live with hepatitis B, C, or both\u003C/a> in the country but more than 80% of them do not know their status.

The study found that decentralizing Hepatitis C services to primary and secondary levels of care and community-based one-stop-shops for key populations and capacity building for general practitioners

including services for malaria prevention and treatment. Unequal power dynamics within couples and women’s lack of control of financial resources and increased household responsibilities all impact their ability to seek services for themselves and their children.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This we know. But what we are still learning is how gender impacts providers–not just the quality of care they provide, but their own ability to advance professionally. A recent secondary analysis of malaria provider training data conducted by Jhpiego as part of the PMI Impact Malaria project sought to answer this question. We looked at over 23,000 data points across 11 countries to understand \u003Cem>what \u003C/em>was happening and validated our results with PMI Impact Malaria country teams to understand \u003Cem>why \u003C/em>we saw the results that we did.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, we found that for most training topics for most countries, training participants were more likely to be men. Sometimes this reflects the actual gender breakdown of providers in the cadres targeted for trainings. For example, in Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, and Cameroon, malaria case management trainings targeted doctors and pharmacists, who are more likely to be men, as they were encouraged to go into sciences while women were encouraged to go into caring fields like nursing and midwifery. The biggest disparity was in lab diagnostics, with up to 95% of participants being men. This was not only due to social expectations sending men into sciences and women into caring fields, but also due to the demands of the job. The team in Mali noted that once a lab technician received her degree, she could be sent anywhere in the country, and many women felt unable to make this move when their husbands already had jobs in their hometowns.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even in cases where the cadre was mostly women, training participants were mostly men. In Cameroon and Cote d’Ivoire, teams noted that while nurses—the cadre targeted for malaria in pregnancy trainings—were mostly women, the managers, who selected the training participants, were mostly men, and they were more likely to select other men to participate in the trainings.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women’s lack of participation in trainings also impacts their performance when they are able to participate. We found that women perform better when trainings have equal numbers of women and men, or more women; country teams suggested that this was because it helped women feel more comfortable in the training environment so they could more easily participate and ask questions.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams also noted that women made fewer gains and performed worse overall during training due to household and childcare responsibilities (such as bringing infants to trainings or leaving early to complete household tasks); having less experience in the field than male counterparts—which caused challenges due to knowledge gaps and as well as power differentials between senior men and junior women in the same room; and having only male instructors who are not aware of these gendered challenges.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why does this matter? When woman are not selected for professional development opportunities, or are seen to be less likely to succeed in these opportunities when they are chosen, they lose out on the chance to gain new skills and make new professional connections, which impacts their ability to advance in their field. This not only impacts their income levels, but makes it harder for them to become the decision-makers who can then choose to support other women’s advancement.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what can we do about it? When our team in Mali became aware of the gender imbalance among participants, they began to encourage managers to make a more balanced selection, and female training participation increased by almost 40%. When our team in Ghana found midwives were having a hard time attending full day trainings because they had to leave early to be home when their children arrived from school, they changed their training plan to multiple half day trainings. When they found that many women providers traveled to attend trainings with infants and nannies, the team ensured that their catering plan and budget included food for these extra attendees and provided regular breaks to allow participants to breastfeed. These seemingly minor adaptations resulted in increased participation of female providers and greater opportunities for professional advancement.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cem>Elizabeth Arlotti-Parish is a Principle Technical Advisor for Gender in Jhpiego’s Baltimore office.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cem>Dr. Gladys Tetteh, Jhpiego’s Senior Technical Director for Malaria, provided technical review of this article.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Chr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Actions to Support Women Health Workers’ Advancement\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Revise job descriptions to remove barriers to women’s recruitment in cadres targeted for trainings\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Orient decision-makers on participation disparities, to encourage gender equitable selection of training participants\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Modify training schedules to meet women health workers’ time and responsibility constraints;\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Budget for child care, meal and lodging for child care workers, and time and space for breastfeeding breaks at trainings\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Hire more female instructors and orient all instructors on barriers faced by participants of different genders\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n","\u003Cp>Gender disparities don’t just affect patients; they also shape health providers’ opportunities to learn, grow, and lead.

Reassuring the family about TB’s high cure rate with diagnosis and proper treatment, the health care provider prescribed a six-month regimen of medication and care for Achhe Lal, with regular follow-up, and referred him to the neighborhood Ayushman Bharat health and wellness center (now called Ayushman Arogya Mandir) at Gadaghat under the care of Nurse Bharti Kewat, a community health officer. Achhe Lal’s family members also were tested as per protocol. With the four-to-six-month course of anti-TB drugs currently recommended by the World Health Organization, people can be cured of TB.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Achhe Lal’s family are key to his recovery. Jhpiego-trained Nurse Bharti introduced Achhe Lal’s wife, three daughters, three sons and grandchildren to the family caregiver model.

India accounted for the highest number of TB cases in the world that year, with 2.8 million TB cases, representing 27% of the global burden. A significant challenge facing TB control in India is delayed diagnosis and inadequate treatment. Patients seeking care in the public sector have a better chance of treatment, but still one-third are lost between care-seeking and successful cure.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Solution: \u003C/strong>A family caregiver can be a strong bridge between the health system and the patient. If empowered with information and training, family caregivers can help improve health outcomes for TB patients. The family caregiver model aims to improve treatment adherence and treatment completion among patients with TB and drug-resistant TB. Through this model, community health officers train and equip family members to provide proper care to TB patients, identify early signs of adverse drug reactions, contact the health care worker promptly when needed, and provide proper nutrition.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Outcome: \u003C/strong>By the end of February 2024, 126,650 people had been enrolled as family caregivers of people living with TB in 12 states of India, which accounts for 64% of the total enrolled family caregivers with NISHTHA support.\u003C/h6>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nurse Bharti finds the family caregiver model to be a step in the right direction. “I love this initiative because an ASHA worker cannot monitor a TB patient that closely—their daily diet, upkeep, and well-being. To fill this gap, there can be no one better than a family member,” said Bharti, referring to accredited social health activists (ASHAs) or community health workers employed by the government of India. “They are much closer to the patient, both physically and emotionally. This is also helping us track the patients’ progress better in the NI-KSHAY portal as the caregivers are usually younger and give us regular telephonic updates. Take Achhe Lal, for example. Thanks to his daughter, his call-in record is as high as 90%.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7753\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-810x540.jpg 810w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7751\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-200x300.jpg 200w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-360x540.jpg 360w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-375x563.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2-1280x1920.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Achhe-Lal_India_2.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\u003C/div>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prabhabai is elated at seeing progress in her father’s condition. “Now Papa is much better.

New Asset in the Malaria Prevention Toolkit","\n\u003Ch5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jhpiego’s Dr. Chris Morgan on the new malaria vaccines.\u003C/h5>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the eagerly awaited malaria vaccine moves from trial to rollout, Jhpiego is using its 20 years of experience in malaria prevention and treatment—from promoting insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs), to supporting seasonal malaria chemoprevention and intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy (IPTp), to providing training to health care workers to test for and treat malaria—to support the governments of Burkina Faso, Liberia, and soon, Côte d’Ivoire, in introducing the vaccine.  Jhpiego editor Joan Taylor spoke with Dr. Christopher Morgan, Jhpiego’s technical director for immunization, about the potential impact of the vaccine in saving lives and improving health of the people we serve.  Dr. Morgan is a pediatrician, public health physician and implementation research expert with more than 30 years of experience in immunization and related health areas and a member of the World Health Organization (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of Expert’s COVID-19 Vaccines Working Group.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the outlook for vaccination against malaria in 2024?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some ways, 2024 will be the most exciting year for vaccinating against malaria as  up to 20 countries start to introduce the vaccine as part of their routine immunization schedule. We’ve been waiting for this since about 2016 when WHO said yes, this vaccine is good for use under demonstration conditions. With over 5 billion doses of RTS,S followed closely without raising safety concerns, earlier demonstrations have shown the vaccine to be safe and effective, so now it’s ready for scale-up.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other thing that makes 2024 an exciting year is that we expect the second vaccine, the R21/Matrix M, which is produced by the Serum Institute of India, to be qualified, so that perhaps by the end of this year or early next year, it can be added.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of efficacy, there’s been a 30% reduction in severe malaria needing hospital care, and a 9% reduction in deaths from any cause. Children who die from malaria are often vulnerable because they have malnutrition or because they have malaria plus pneumonia or some other infection at the same time.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"499\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2280\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024.jpg 800w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024-300x187.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024-768x479.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/malaria_new_asset_toolkit_2024-375x234.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outside of supply, what is the biggest barrier to ensuring that all children who need the vaccine get the full course?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 28 countries have already expressed interest to Gavi in offering the vaccine, and have the policies in place to permit use of the vaccine and access.  The remaining countries will have to put in place the policy or regulatory environment to permit use of the vaccine and access. Another hurdle is the standard barrier faced by all immunization programs in the low-income settings where malaria is a problem—reaching all families, \u003Ca>because the families with children who are most vulnerable are also the families who struggle the most to access any sort of preventative primary health care.\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There’s another barrier specific to the malaria vaccine, which is that it requires four doses, and the third and the fourth doses are needed late in the first year of life and then sometime in the second year of life, ages that fall outside the standard age bracket for all other childhood vaccines. Encouraging families to come for these extra visits will be critical, as well as extra outreach to get those third and fourth doses to children.  \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can the malaria vaccine be integrated with other malaria interventions or health services?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The malaria vaccine does not replace all other malaria control interventions, such as ITNs, spraying to reduce mosquito populations, or IPTp. Rather, it’s another tool in the toolkit. In Burkina Faso, part of the Ministry of Health’s communications efforts that Jhpiego supports is reinforcing for nurses and families that the vaccine doesn’t mean you should stop all other malaria protective interventions, particularly sleeping under an ITN.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another integration opportunity is around the fourth dose, which is given in the second year of life. The 15- to 24-month age bracket is a critical time in a child’s growth and development. It’s the last chance you have to prevent a child who is chronically malnourished from becoming stunted and having permanent effects of malnutrition. It’s also a time where if you can intervene in a child’s development, you can stimulate their psychosocial development as well. We are actively working with countries and Ministries of Health to identify opportunities to use that visit between ages 15 and 24 months to not just give the vaccine, but also check on the child’s growth and development and see if there are opportunities to improve.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an opportunity to extend our mutual experience in ensuring reliable supply of preventive therapeutic medicines to reliable supply of vaccines. Working in partnership with national malaria control and immunization programs, we can use our experience in identifying the populations that are most at risk—\u003Cem>micro planning\u003C/em> in immunization jargon—and how they can be reached to the malaria vaccine rollout.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the malaria vaccine fit into Jhpiego’s strategic priorities for immunization?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jhpiego has four strategic priorities. The first is life course vaccination, which refers to vaccinating beyond the first year of life. As I’ve said, with the malaria vaccine, there’s a fourth dose in the second year of life. The second strategic priority is around integrated service delivery. And again, particularly in the second year of life, there’s the chance to integrate the vaccine with growth and nutrition. For all doses of the malaria vaccine, there’s a chance to integrate and at the same time strengthen broader malaria control interventions. It taps into what Jhpiego is doing in our malaria support to Ministries of Health and other aspects of maternal and child health. Our third strategic priority for immunization is around equity—making sure that we’re supporting ministry efforts  to improve not just vaccine coverage in general, but also equitable coverage. The malaria vaccine is a good example of a resource going to areas of greatest need.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our fourth strategic priority is around innovations. Any time you introduce an innovation, whether it’s a new vaccine, a new device, or a new way of running a program, you have a chance to strengthen the health system overall—the broader public health policy, for example, or the human resources needed for the new vaccine. – If an information system for a new vaccine needs to change, the whole of the health information system should benefit or be improved through that change. That’s the consideration.  And if we have to improve the logistics and supplies for the new vaccine, how can we make sure it’s done in a way that strengthens the whole logistic and supply system?\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https://jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2288\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024.jpg 800w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Vaccine-board-in-Burkina-Faso_Malaria_2024-375x250.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vaccine board in Burkina Faso.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there anything else unique to this vaccine?\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There’s a whole other story about vaccines as a global good, and the interaction of Gavi, UNICEF and WHO together with pharmaceutical companies to get innovative products to the countries that need it but can’t afford it much more quickly than used to be the case. Before Gavi, poorer countries were waiting 10 to 20 years longer than richer countries to get new, effective vaccines into their systems. With Gavi in the mix and being clever about market shaping and pricing—buying in bulk and giving manufacturers certainty about future purchases and of the high volume of purchase—we can get these new vaccines to countries much quicker. Without Gavi and UNICEF working together, this would have been a vaccine for travelers for the next 20 years before eventually poorer countries would have been able to introduce it.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cem>Dr. Christopher Morgan is Jhpiego’s Technical Director for Immunization.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp
