RVF DESIGNS AND FINANCES NATIONWIDE SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE INITIATIVES BENEFITING PREGNANT WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
About
RVF WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN. THE LARGEST SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE PROGRAMS INTRODUCING MODERN VACCINES FOR CHILDREN INTO THE NATIONAL ROUTINE VACCINATION SCHEDULES FOR CHILDREN IN MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES (MICS) AND PUBLISHING THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE PROGRAMS IN PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. THE PROGRAMS ARE IMPLEMENTED ENTIRELY BY LOCAL HEALTH CARE WORKERS, THEREBY BUILDING LOCAL CAPACITY AND OWNERSHIP FROM THE BEGINNING, AND ARE FULLY SUSTAINED BY THE HOST GOVERNMENTS WITHIN 3 YEARS OF INCEPTION. THANKS TO RVF-SUPPORTED VACCINATION PROGRAMS OVER 10 MILLION YOUNG CHILDREN, STUDENTS AND MEDICAL WORKERS IN SUCH DIVERSE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AS THE CAUCASUS, RUSSIA, THE WEST BANK AND GAZA HAVE BEEN VACCINATED AGAINST KILLER DISEASES SUCH AS PNEUMONIA, MENINGITIS, MEASLES AND HEPATITIS B. EACH OF THESE COMPLETED VACCINATION PROGRAMS IS NOW BEING FULLY SUSTAINED WITH LOCAL RESOURCES. IN 2018, THE RVF COMPLETED A MAJOR 3-YEAR PROGRAM TO ASSIST THE PALESTINIAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH TO INTRODUCE THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE FOR ALL INFANTS IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK - APPROXIMATELY 135,000 BABIES ANNUALLY. VACCINATION COVERAGE RATES ARE >97%, AND HEALTH FACILITIES ACROSS THE WEST BANK AND GAZA HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN CHILDREN PRESENTING WITH ACUTE WATERY DIARRHEA SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE. THIS PROGRAM IS NOW COMPLETELY FINANCED BY THE PALESTINIAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH, WHICH CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THAT THE RVF MODEL OF CREATING SUSTAINABLE CHILDREN'S HEALTH PROGRAMS WORKS EVEN IN POLITICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGING SETTINGS! IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PATH AND WITH FINANCING FROM THE BMGF RVF COMPLETED A HEALTH ECONOMICS STUDY, WHICH SHOWED THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THE USE OF THE ROTAVIRUS VACCINE ROTAVAC TO THE MOH. AT A GLOBAL FORUM ON ROTAVIRUS IN SO. AFRICA, RVF PRESENTED ITS RESEARCH ON THE DRAMATIC IMPACT OF ROTAVIRUS VACCINE ON THE DISEASE BURDEN IN PALESTINE. IN RUSSIA, KAZAKHSTAN AND BULGARIA, RVF COMPLETED THE FIRST PHASE OF A GROUND-BREAKING STUDY OF PNEUMOCOCCAL DISEASE IN CHILDREN <5 YEARS OF AGE TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PNEUMOCOCCAL CONJUGATE VACCINE (PCV) ON THE COMPOSITION OF PNEUMOCOCCAL STRAINS IN CIRCULATION. THE PROGRAM HAS AN IMPORTANT LABORATORY CAPACITY BUILDING COMPONENT IN EACH OF THE THREE COUNTRIES. THE INITIAL EPIDEMIOLOGICAL FINDINGS WERE PUBLISHED IN AN IMPORTANT PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL, DIAGNOSTIC MICROBIOLOGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE. RVF BEGAN A SECOND PHASE OF THIS RESEARCH AT THE END OF 2019 WITH ADDITIONAL STUDY SITES WITHIN RUSSIA AND ADDING THE COUNTRIES OF UZBEKISTAN AND BELARUS.
