Following a workshop on access to COVID-19 vaccines, experts from the Global Health Strategy Group for Digital Health and AI for health (an initiative of the University of Oxford), and the Supply & Market Dynamics; Medicine Quality Working Group of the COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition just issued a report capturing challenges affecting supply, distribution, and access issues for people in low-resource settings.
The report features the Abujah principles, developed thanks to insights provided during the workshop, and aims to guide policymakers as well as developers and implementers of digital, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies to ensure access to quality COVID-19 vaccines for all. The report also includes a presentation of various initiatives where digital, AI and GIS tools helped strengthen vaccine access, traceability, and product safety.
You can find additional resources, tools, documents, and advice gathered by members of the coalition to facilitate clinical research in low-resource settings on this dedicated webpage.
