Bangladeshi recognised for contribution to immunisation
Thursday, Jan 26, 2012 Filed Under :Planet Talk Card News
A former district immunisation and surveillance medical officer in Bangladesh has been recognised for his innovative approach to immunisation, it was announced on Tuesday (January 24th).
Fans of Dr Asm Amjad Hossain may make cheap calls to Bangladesh to congratulate the expert after he received the first Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Award for Vaccine Innovation.
Among the doctor’s contributions to the industry was the development of a registration programme that helped to located pregnant women due for vaccine doses.
He also enabled parents to have greater access to health workers by allocating contact numbers of vaccinators to children’s immunisation cards.
In his annual letter, Microsoft-founder Bill Gates said: “Tracking pregnant mothers, annual vaccination schedules and increased accountability may seem like small innovations, but they show how looking at old problems in new ways can make a profound difference.”
In just one year, Dr Hossain’s efforts helped drive immunisation coverage by more than 15 per cent.
