25.01.2022 Completely agree with Deakin Prof Eugene Athan in todays Age: handing control of contact tracing to the Geelong-based health service provided local expertise and community understanding that was impossible to achieve from Melbourne. Theres now a local testing and tracing model - synthesising global best practice but using local community health knowledge from Melbourne - that could be rolled out across Greater Melbourne and Mitchell Shires too. Thanks to the fabulous Know C19 centre at Burnet for this synthesis. Read more : https://burnet.edu.au//8.1_Design_concept_for_a_pilot_dece

25.01.2022 Ensuring access to life-saving oxygen therapy is already an enormous challenge in remote and low-resource settings. A shortage of skilled health workers, scarce supplies and poor health system infrastructure means that many patients can't access the oxygen that they need. Now, a global pandemic is straining these systems and resources even further. Join us at our next COVID-19 National Briefing as our expert panel discuss their teams' experiences of working to maintain vital ...access to oxygen therapy during the pandemic, and share some of the innovations that are helping them to do so.

21.01.2022 This COVID crisis is not going to end for anyone, until it ends for everyone. While Australia has been a world leader in flattening the curve, too many of our neighbours around the world are ill-equipped to deal with a pandemic. So its time we offered a helping hand.... Because as Australians we take care of our neighbours. Its just what we do. Visit www.endcovidforall.com and pledge to stand in solidarity with all our neighbours, and encourage our government to provide vital support to vulnerable nations. Its the only way we can end COVID for all. Because its not over until its over for everyone. #EndCOVIDForAll End COVID For All

15.01.2022 Fabulous news from the Australian Government - today announcing we will continue to fund Gavi, the global vaccine alliance - to ensure that we vaccinate as many kids around the world as humanly possible: Press release from the Foreign Minister: The Indo-Pacific region will have improved access to vaccines through Australias new pledge of $300 million to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.... Gavi is a public-private partnership that provides access to vaccines for low-income countries. Over the past two decades, Gavi has supported 16 countries in the Indo-Pacific with more than US$3 billion in vaccine and health system support, and has directly contributed to the health of over 318 million children in our region through immunisation. Prime Minister Scott Morrison will announce Australias contribution to this global effort at the Global Vaccine Summit 2020 tonight. Australia welcomes the United Kingdoms leadership in hosting the summit. Gavi will invest US$800 million from 2021 to provide access to vaccines for 140 million children in the Indo-Pacific region over the next five years. In Indonesia, 4 million children will access pneumococcal vaccines at a quarter of the commercial cost. In Papua New Guinea, 400,000 children will access life-saving vaccines for the first time. Australias commitment, which draws on our existing development budget, will help to ensure that Gavi maintains a strong focus on our region. In response to the disruption of COVID-19, Gavi will provide US$200 million to continue existing immunisation programs where possible, and coordinate catch-up immunisation campaigns once conditions allow. Gavi will also play a lead role in ensuring any future COVID-19 vaccine is affordable, available and accessible to all countries including in the Indo-Pacific. Foreign Minister Marise Payne welcomed the partnership, saying that Australia is stepping up work alongside our neighbours as they respond to the COVID-19 challenge while continuing to manage other preventable diseases. Immunisation saves lives, Minister Payne said. The COVID-19 pandemic has served as yet another reminder that investing in vaccine access is critical to regional health security. Minister for International Development and the Pacific Alex Hawke said Australia was pleased to renew its commitment to Gavi. Our mission is to see that all children, regardless of where they live, have access to life saving vaccines. I am particularly pleased that for our Pacific family and Timor-Leste, the Alliance has enabled more than 1.5 million children to be vaccinated, Minister Hawke said.

05.01.2022 The Nossal Institute for Global Health at the University of Melbourne wants to give a voice to health workers as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. We aim to gather health workers stories from around the world about their experiences. Drawing on these stories we will collate lessons on how health systems can best respond to COVID-19 and other, future challenges. If you are a health worker please follow this WhatsApp link - https://bit.ly/COVID-19HWVoices - on your smartphone t...o share your story now, and to keep sharing at any time. Once you follow the link you will be in a private chat and just need to send a text saying hello to get started. You can just follow the prompts from there but please have a look at our how to film (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzMsLdYvZtI&feature=youtu.be) if you get stuck! This initiative will help Nossal understand what improvements can be made to health systems, where you work and in other settings globally, so as to better prepare and respond to epidemics. Your mobile number won't be stored and you wont be identified when the data is stored or report the findings but we may quote you anonymously. Melbourne University will retain the data. If you are not a health worker but have friends and colleagues who are, please send them this message. Follow them on twitter @COVID_HW_voices and on the Nossal Institute for Global Health COVID-19 Health Worker Voices project webpage (https://mspgh.unimelb.edu.au/healthworkervoices).
