We would like to share the information about the Postgraduate Certificate, the Postgraduate Diploma, and the MSc in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, which are run in Oxford and are supported by the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Disease (ESPID). These courses will bring leaders in the field from around the world to teach a comprehensive syllabus to inspire and educate a new generation of paediatricians, and ultimately improve Child Health.
The link to the PGCertificate and PGDiploma course application are available.
We are reaching out to garner your support for our Call to Action for Ensuring Fair Prices for All Vaccines for All Countries with Limited Resources.
Our Call to Action calls on governments and international organizations worldwide to address vaccine prices as a matter of urgency to protect the lives of present and future generations through global, equitable access to affordable vaccines. Vaccine price should not be a barrier to vaccine introduction and the sustainability of immunization programs. We are calling for the urgent need to ensure fair pricing for all vaccines to ensure they will be “global public goods.”
Addressing the systemic issue of unaffordable vaccine prices requires a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder approach – that’s why we are inviting professional associations, non-profits, civil society, and individuals to sign the Call to Action.
The Call to Action will be officially launched during the WSPID congress in Durban, South Africa, on November 17, 2023, but we invite you to learn more about the Call to Action here!
Sign on now and show your support as either an organization or individual and/or share this call with your members, inviting them to add their support.
Sincerely,
Fiona M. Russell, Asha Bowen, Mark Cotton, Abiel Mascareñas, Miguel O’Ryan, on behalf of the World Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases
