The two multi-year projects aim to diversify the destination countries typically made available to students and are geared towards students who have been typically under-represented in international study/work programs.
Priority setting during the COVID-19 pandemic: going beyond vaccines
Format
Summary box
Development of vaccines is a major breakthrough in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Much attention has been paid to how to prioritise between patient groups for vaccination and how to ensure equity, especially in low-income countries, but there are other important decisions that need to be made.
These decisions include: (a) choosing between the various vaccines that will become available, (b) continuing to invest in other aspects of the COVID-19 response and (c) balancing the COVID-19 response with the need to invest in other healthcare that has suffered during the pandemic.
