The example of immunization programmes or how to arrive at successful partnerships for concrete objectives - Tore GODAL
GAVI (an international programme for immunization) have demonstrated how to create a virtuous circle connecting health and an improvement in the quality of life. There is a need to further develop alliances and partnerships between public and private entities supporting this programme.
We started in July 2000, and four years later 70 countries were involved. At the end of 2003, 250 million dollars have been allocated to this objective. By attributing 20 dollars for every extra child to be vaccinated, we arrived at a figure of 8 million extra children being immunized, in the first phase.
Vaccination is a profitable operation in terms of years of life spared. WHO believes they have saved between 500'000 and a million lives, with an outlay of only 250'000 dollars.
