ICMRA Executive Committee response to situation in Ukraine

03 March 2022

The ICMRA Executive Committee is deeply concerned with the ongoing and evolving situation in Ukraine. Following a request from an ICMRA member [Poland], the Executive Committee met on 2 March 2022 and agreed on the following response

[Excerpt]

“Currently the ICMRA Terms of Reference do not foresee any mechanism for exclusion of a member or associate member. However we are aware of the strict sanctions being imposed on Russia by an increasing number of countries and regions across the globe, including at UNGA level, and we will review our interactions with the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare (Roszdravnadzor) in the light of these sanctions and the emerging situation.

While we do not consider it appropriate to take a collective position on behalf of all the ICMRA membership, we will keep the situation under review. Meanwhile we propose not to invite Roszdravnadzor to ICMRA meetings and communications for the foreseeable future, as well as consider the need for appropriate revisions to the Terms of Reference. A communication will be sent to IMCRA members and associate members in this regard…

[Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare (Roszdravnadzor) was established by the President of the Russian Federation in Decree on March 9, 2004 № 314 “On the System and Structure of the Federal Executive Bodies” and is a federal executive body responsible for control and supervision of the Healthcare system.]

Key Insights from Sabin 2020-2021 Grant Partners Inform Action, Investment in Vaccine Acceptance
March 2, 2022
by: Nick Boehman, Cassidy Howell, MPH, Kate Hopkins, PhD, MPH
The past several months has seen the delivery of final project reporting from the Sabin Vaccine Institute’s 2020-2021 Social and Behavioral Research Grants Program partners. Multidisciplinary teams from five countries were awarded funding to explore the social drivers of COVID-19 misinformation and its impact on both routine immunization acceptance and the acceptance of a COVID-19 vaccine. With the completion of these projects in December 2021, key insights have begun to surface, providing an opportunity to review effective approaches towards combatting misinformation and increasing vaccine confidence and acceptance in low- and middle-income countries.
Our initial case-study report, Community-led Strategies to Aid Vaccine Acceptance: Five Case Studies from the Global South, has been compiled to inform action and investment around the globe that seek to build more vaccine confident communities…

As we enter the third year of the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is spreading between people at an intense level globally.  There are many factors that are driving transmission. One of these is the emergence of highly transmissible variants of concern, the latest being Omicron.  The virus continues to evolve and the risk of future emergence of variants is high…

WTO members were updated on the high-level political consultations taking place to try to find a landing zone on the intellectual property-related aspects of a WTO COVID-19 response. At a meeting of the Council for Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) on 9-10 March, members agreed to keep open two related agenda items on the WTO response to allow the Council to be reconvened at short notice when and if convergence is within reach. The Council elected Ambassador Lansana Gberie (Sierra Leone) as its new chair.

Tactical Health and Law Enforcement

AMA Journal of Ethics
Volume 24, Number 2: E107-163 Feb 2022
https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/issue/tactical-health-and-law-enforcement

 

Tactical Health and Law Enforcement
Tactical health involves providing field-based clinical support to law enforcement operations during frontline crisis interventions and prehospital emergency care. Health professional skill can inform individual officers’ occupational health maintenance and help agents of the state navigate primary and secondary trauma and posttrauma experiences in field- and clinic-based settings. Tactical health expertise can also inform department- and agency-level policies, decisions, and responses to community health and safety threats. Ethical questions considered in this issue focus on the nature and scope of health professionals’ collaborations with law enforcement personnel during and following critical event preparation and responses.

WHO-led consensus statement on vaccine delivery costing: process, methods, and findings
Differences in definitions and methodological approaches have hindered comparison and synthesis of economic evaluation results across multiple health domains, including immunization. At the request of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Immunization and Vaccines-related Implementation Research Advisory Committee (IVIR-AC), WHO convened an ad hoc Vaccine Delivery Costing Working Group, comprising experts from eight organizations working in immunization costing, to address a lack of standardization and gaps in definitions and methodological guidance. The aim of the Working Group was to develop a consensus statement harmonizing terminology and principles and to formulate recommendations for vaccine delivery costing for decision making. This paper discusses the process, findings of the review, and recommendations in the Consensus Statement.
