Inclusion is Not Altruism. It’s Self-Interest and It’s Fundamental

On 9 May 2018 in Aden, Yemen, a group of children have just been vaccinated against cholera. Several children display their vaccination cards. The first-ever Oral Cholera Vaccination (OCV) campaign in Yemen was launched 6-15 May 2018. The campaign aims to prevent the resurgence of the world’s largest cholera outbreak. The volatile mix of conflict, a deteriorating economic situation, and little to no access to clean drinking water and sanitation have resulted in more than one million suspected cholera cases since the outbreak began in April 2017. This OCV campaign is part of a broader cholera integrated response plan, implemented by national health authorities, WHO and UNICEF. Outbreak response activities include surveillance and case detection, community engagement and awareness, enhancing laboratory testing capacity, improving water and sanitation, and training and deploying rapid response teams to affected areas. On 24 April 2018, UNICEF delivered the first batch of 455,000 OCV doses from the Gavi-funded global stockpile, targeting people over the age of 1 year, including pregnant women. The Global Taskforce for Cholera Control (GTFCC) approved the request of more than 4.6 million doses of OCV from the global stockpile to target cholera hotspots across the country.

In December 2018 the Government of Yemen and the Houthi movement agreed in Stockholm on the parameters for a ceasefire and redeployment of forces from the city of Hudaydah and the ports of Hudaydah, Saleef and Ras Isa. UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Martin Griffiths, in an interview with UN News, takes stock of the… Continue reading Inclusion is Not Altruism. It’s Self-Interest and It’s Fundamental
