Japanese Encephalitis Kills and permanently damages tens of thousands of the world’s poorest each year. This considered, a vaccine actually exists to cure Japanese Encephalitis. The issue was making the vaccine affordable to the world’s poorest.
A non profit foundation out of Seattle called PATH took action, contacting the CNBG, the Chinese National Biotec Group to make the vaccine available to the world’s poorest. What was once too expensive, have been made affordable by PATH. Explicitly, the benefits of PATH’s action are clear; these people are no longer going to be affected by Japanese Encephalitis. Implicitly, a new outlet of medicinal breakthrough has formed. This is the first vaccine made available to the world by China, increasing awareness that information that may be of little significance to them, can make a great difference elsewhere.
The WHO has prequalified the vaccine, and many of the world’s poorest can thank a Chinese vaccine Manufacturer for offering life-changing secondary data.
Thanks goes out to PATH, the non profit foundation out of Seattle. Their facilitation efforts connected those in need with those who could provide the help. It’s all about connecting the resources that can make a meaningful impact.
Your blog is a perfect example of that Rupert!
