5:34 pm
african countries start, which is that vaccines? could that be a game changer? we sat i conversation with question. over the past 3 years, our team has studied the global access and inequities to coven 19 vaccines. and we see clearly that lack of manufacturing capacity, especially in africa, has been a key driver of global inequities. that means there has to be significant investment, promote the public in the private sector. there has to be access to intellectual property and know how we need the human capital. so significant training and capacity building is necessary. we've got a rework the supply chains to ensure that they are adequate for regional manufacturing. and we have to make sure that regulatory support and regulatory oversight are appropriate to ensure that we're developing quality assured vaccines around the world. oh, that's kinda nice or what i love is that there is
5:35 pm
a list there possibilities as a strategy at least one strategy. i am going to welcome petro and also dr. yodi, i know you know, dr. yodi and they're both going to introduce themselves to you in the context of making vaccines in africa. petro, welcome to the stream. please say hello to our viewers around the world. tell them who you are, what you do me. thank you very much. i'm putative launch. i'm the managing director of african by technology, by logics, be based in cape town, and we've our, the w h o m order. now hup. making him order, no technology accessible to africa to produce that own him order. no vaccines are great to be on the show rate to having thought to yodi it is so lovely to have you . we've been talking to a lot over the past couple of years, but this is something quite fresh and new and potentially positive. we might not audience who you are, what you do. oh, wonderful to be it was you sent me in this grade to be on show sisters. my name is
5:36 pm
dr. idea. last name is dr. yadi. i work several hotspots in the show. really the most passionate one is my chair, the african, your african vaccine delivery alliance. as well as i'm special envoy to be access to tools accelerator, which is a global global platform situated at w h. i get to have you ladies, go to have your audience as well. if you're watching right now you're on you chip, you an important part of our conversation, but your comments or questions right here. be part of today's show, a facts and figures. petra and our daughter yodi. we have to show these for our audience. i see where we are right now. so one percent of vaccines using africa a made in africa. shocking. 90 percent of that seems use in africa are imported. point one percent of the global supply vaccines produced in africa. 25 percent of the global supply vaccines is used in africa. so a big usa vaccines,
5:37 pm
a very small producer of vaccines. why is there that m balance petrow you start? hey, me many reasons. first year, this is the reality which is not new. this has been a history for 10 years, but the one thing that the covert pandemic of done is to really surface this reality and create a stream of energy that will change it. so the reasons being lack of capacity, reasons being as that the global suppliers dominates, the landscape. the reason being that these, there was never a strategy that was comprehensive creation of an ecosystem and implemented. now we have the strategy and the strategy we have started to implement. so this time we're going to get it right. that he will always strikes me is the brilliance of scientists and researchers and doctors on the african continent. and some of the amazing research that was done during the beginning of our global plan to meet with
5:38 pm
him right now came from within the continent. so it's not the brain power. it's not the intelligence. is it just money without any money in its power? yeah. yeah, i would say that we absolutely have the capacity and we often hear you've just heard from petra, petro, who's doing some incredible work. we often hear that there is no, you know, that we have 2 important capacity. the capacity exists within africa. the know the know how the sort of the ability is inherently that many of all diasporas are the ones who walk in many of this manufacturing areas around the world. but it is power and it is also responsibility of leadership. but it is governance, and there is an opportunity within this crisis. this is a moment for home, as patrick said that. but what the pandemic has done is shot a magnifying glass and one of the inequities in the world that we live in. and that
5:39 pm
is now showing us all as africa that we need to be in charge, not just of our vaccines, but of already health security more broadly. you know, not just vaccine production, but all the medical come to measures. we also don't have testing. we don't have the diagnostics capacity, not just because it, but for a myriad of albany illnesses, we also don't have the therapeutics capacity. we're not able to right now on the african continent. there is no pets of it, which is the tablet. does your treat to treat cove it and why is that? because people like petro average in an offer. and also our friends in senegal should be able to make these drugs. but the know that the technical transfer and the sharing of that proper international and all of the technology, let me get to technical, not that. so people like petro are looking at the world, say, come on, come to you, pressure, come on, we're ready. we have to know how we have the capacity. we just need you not to give
5:40 pm
us permission, but we need you to, to lead in to this moment and recognize that africa health security is also global health security and vice versa. so yeah, do you right there needs to be a can do attitude to we have the audio deep abilities in pockets on the continent, but without building a policy environment without building a vertically integrated sake that we cannot harness and leverage the value of r and d, knowledge, i think what we've demonstrated to the continent in, in, in buddhist capacities, over the last 18 months, is that we have the scientific base. we have the technical base, we need infrastructure, we need investment, and we need a policy environment that will stimulant, let stimulate, local production and local procurement. without that, we will not have a sustainable sector. so this is an ecosystem that needs to be crated, or regulatory quality regulatory in quality. and
5:41 pm
a market place that you formed that will procure locally and not only global procure, this is huge. you are building an entire industry almost from scratch. and i say this is not on my own. yes, yes, no, but no, but even if it's not bias, i mean, even if it's with several countries getting together with the w. h o, given the support, this is huge and it, let me start with some of the, i do understand, and that is what all the vaccine needs. of course, we were in a global pandemic, so this coverage. but beyond that, not to yodi. what else? there's measles, there's, there's rebel, does that mean something that is very close and dear to my heart and i'm currently visiting, visiting sort of the global health sort of gurus and headquarters of the world to geneva. i've just recently been talking to some people about h p v vaccines and also the testing the diagnostics for, for the human problem,
5:42 pm
the virus, which is, you know, the, basically the cause of cycle cancer. we have vaccines, for instance, can prevent this. we have testing become, prevent this, we and africa need to be able to look beyond it. we need to be able to look at the fact that not every african countries going to be able to produce vaccines. i mean that people talk about producing the shop and the re, we must be realistic that there is to capacity, but everybody to produce it. so let's not to the future lesson to protecting our girls and all women on the continent. let's look to things like, like p h p v, a vaccine for, for, for girls and women. let's look to things like, you know, in south africa. now looking up, would you say the sort of suite of childhood immunization vaccines. we must be able to have regional production capacity on the african continent because we need to protect our security. what happens during cold? it was the other countries, you know,
5:43 pm
stopped their back vaccine exports because they were protecting their own sovereignty. and that is, you know, that is understandable, but the world can now not say to africa, you must not produce your own. but what, what petro say actually correct. we did the policy environment. but when we look about all the environment, we must 1st of all say we need to look at the leadership in our own way to hold our only does not own self accountable how that. so from i, we're talking about nation, i'm going to go to the head of the world health organization, doctor petros, and this is what he said last year. i'm just looking here. it was almost a year ago to the date. and this is about the potential for what can be the chief in the african continent here. today's, i'm delighted to announce the 1st 6 african countries that would receive technology from the hub to produce their own m r n. a vaccines, egypt, kenya, nigeria,
5:44 pm
senegal, south africa, and tunisia. more than 80 percent of the population of africa. yours is yet to receive a single goals. my job, this inequity has been driven by the fact that globally vaccine production is concentrated in a few, mostly high income countries. that you that that announcement may miss my one was because it was hopeful and the other one is like dr. tedra was almost like a gang shall housed and i contestants are going to be egypt. and can you nigeria sniggle south africa in tennessee? but it is a little bit like that, isn't it? how transformative could this be? the attack that was coming your way? they me usually maybe just to circle back on your previous question. we have identified 20 cheaper 22 priority vaccines on this continent. ok. those are the vaccines which are not only for routine vaccination, but also for outbreaks unless a vaccines for each of the neglected diseases. so there is, there is
5:45 pm
a clear strategy and a demand and a need been identify circling back to door to tapers announcement, it was amazing that 5 companies and 5 countries on the continent will f x ace to future relevant a modern technology through this program. we have already had to nice synagogue to nicea and egypt at etheridge and receiving the 1st knowledge transfer for a modern i technology. we will receive center goal in the next month and we are waiting for nigeria and kenya by vac already being being trained. and by vocal ready, ready to receive the 1st technology package. so this program is bullying future relevant capacity for in order and i vaccine production, it diversify the platforms in egypt, and it adds platforms to new companies in nigeria, kenya, cynical. and, and of course,
5:46 pm
by vac being expanded and being one of the full most entities this east. fundamentally, a game changer in modern i technology is, is, it has a promise for innovation. it has a promise not only for cobit 19, in fact, beyond that you can yeah, yeah, yeah. it has a for malaria. it has a problem, but we, we've had so many promises on the continent. i'm going to go back to my point and also patrick point about about policy and all of that. you know the declaration that all the major nafrica was 20. well, 21 years ago. that was 20 years ago 2022. i'm so i wasn't, wasn't born yodi and know what neither was either a goose more than 20 years ago. we don't know about this. what we read about 20 years ago. i actually have to confess that i was in a bridge or that day. it was a 20, it was may in 2020, that the declaration was,
5:47 pm
was decided by our leaders that they will commit 50 percent to health budget. where are we today? i think only one country in africa has reached out 50 percent. i don't want to talk to anybody, so i won't mention which ones in case i'm wrong and this is investment. so what petra is talking about, we can't always have, you know, the world is perceiving us is not investing ourselves in our own health security. and for me, that is where with this thought, because the buck stops at home, you know, i have been known to say during the early days because it, that if it had it originated in africa, the world would have locked, not locked us away and thrown away the key there would be no operation will speed though to be no investment in r and d, because we have to develop our own. and we have to commit ourselves and all our leadership and we have to push for 90 small letters 7 o time. that's not an app that i hear you, but that message is not necessarily getting to the leaders on the african content,
5:48 pm
so we can cry as africans about inequity. you've left us behind. this is i, i have to be very careful here, but this is vaccine apart. 8 and use it and what's good for you is not good for africans. so all of those, all of those things are but the leadership is so critical and there is some responsibility there. surely. absolutely. is that what i'm laying, that we have to look in? what's 1st? yeah, we have to, we have to, you know, i mean when you point one, figure out what's the next full point towards yourself. and we have to look, it was, you know, what dr. tedra announced there and, you know, i had the privilege. i mean, i just had the privilege of meeting with him for a few hours to talk to you talking about the future, talking about how we, we, we ensure that we do ensure that house security not just of africa, but of latin america of, of asia. ready many other parts of the world, it starts with leadership. so we have, we have that policy environment,
5:49 pm
the picture i was talking about and i had it over to her dad, petra. so i want to move this to a bigger picture, even if we started to forget what the impact of coverage 19 was as people got with h, i been in 2000 as people got with influence about influenza as people got about abolla . if we then also forget about coven 19 and the impact, let's move this conversation to social, economic development for the leadership on this continent. what is the most important opportunity and responsibility is to develop this continent vaccine, manufacturing capacity, capturing the value of this massive market in africa for vaccine supply. if we, even if we put the health issues aside, he says, so she economic development imperative. no leader can not invest in that building a workforce direct for an investment, intellectual property and innovation infrastructure at school,
5:50 pm
how support. and it was a lady the week if, why we, i'm we, we are currently receiving vaccines from other middle income countries. most of the vaccines that will be received in africa to day to be created, not it have been made in high income countries, but in asia countries. so there is, and that's why i said at the very top of this is there's an opportunity of this crisis, but what we need to do is also a broadened it, right? because we're in cobit, when people talk about vaccines, people think of coded vaccines. and we need to begin to use the language of petro use earlier about the 22 party vaccines. you do know that there was that the current strain of the bowler, which, you know, thank goodness of yesterday and i want to congratulate you gander government and my sister j. the minister that didn't bring jamie right now. hello. upper outbreak over. yeah, those what they were in a freezer somewhere, the ones that are being used in a trial that a company considered it was not worth it was not worth their while. right to
5:51 pm
develop. let me, let me just bring in 2 times. let me bring in them the minister of how for uganda, you just name to oh, so relevant as we look ahead to what is possible with vaccines, how they're important that they produce within african countries. and this is what she had to say. october, the 122022. thank relevant to our conversation right now. i can't working together . we shall come up with practical solutions to better protect our communities and reduce in a chances of cross border spread of this virus in the spirit of african solutions for african problems. in the long term. as african governments, we need to bolster investment in research and development, innovation and manufacturing of health tools, such as vaccines diagnostics and essential therapeutics to address the wide spread
5:52 pm
spectrum of diseases that threaten us. all right, so literally i have you tube comments and questions for both of you. petra, help me out with these. this is the speed round for you. so we have from her same to here. this is the best solution for the african continent for the whole issue with faxing and equity. the best solution petro response. i agree. that one was easy. all right, bruce bruce, a new chief is reagan said that scene oversight in african countries. will it be rigorous enough? ok, so i'm going to go to that question. that is, so this is what we get hit with all the time people say what is going to be the quality that is the sort of a, it almost insulting. don't know what you're really going back on the continent that, that 1st discovered on the chrome, for instance. it was africa that identified that the sequence the,
5:53 pm
the variant in the well then tried to shut this out. but then when we do genomics sequencing the benefits, well it's ok when we're trying to produce medicine, people will say the quality is not good enough. that is not an attitude that we should break to the table. we and that's what, what, what, what jane change just said, a minister health of uganda about not just technology transfer or intellectual property. i think we need to move beyond that. we need to look at the integration within our continent itself. we need ourselves, begin to discover the talents of the research and development capabilities to enable us to create our own therapy, our diagnostics, and we need to work with the rest of the world. so that africa and she said african solutions for african problems. no quality, i don't think is an issue. we have to know how on the continent or patrick. i love this question. it comes from garbage go. he's watching on youtube right now. i
5:54 pm
think could this have happened looking at that scene production from the african continent? have we not experienced a pandemic? i think it would have taken a long time because we had previously it per day. meeks, that was devastating for the continent, but need not for the global ruled, and we could not live, reach the energy, the support that we've done with code at 19. i believe that this is the panoramic has been a landmark change for this continent, and we will keep the momentum and we will implement the strategies that was born out of code, 19 anxiety and fear, an inequality. so michael, michael, you're such a trouble maker on you chief share the patents because people's lives on the line share that it's easy for you to type that in the comment section. don't hear any. you have 30 seconds to respond to that share the patents, the,
5:55 pm
the whole conversation around sharing patients has been going on for several, several years and we will be bashing each other again, i just said, i've also just had the privilege of meeting with the director general of a contra, well i to discuss this very issue in the last in the last 24 hours and to discuss how is it that we can move forward together is a global community, not at each other, but together with arm in all around sharing the intellectual data, we want you to say because she's very much business orientate and she's like, we're not going to give away this. we had her on the stream and she was really interesting on how she was defending the ability for companies to make money. they need to make money. i'm not going to give away. i wouldn't say that she, i mean, i think there's been a, there's been a lot of discussion around it. i wouldn't say that she's defending the company's ability to make money. but the fact is that we have governments and as well, we have the u. s. government, we have various other government. i'll very protective of that,
5:56 pm
those industries. and that is why i said, if you remember from the earlier question, that it is not just about sharing the tax, but it is about the innovation within our own continent. because ro was not built in a day. so we can't always sit back, wait for somebody to share, we have to begin down the research and development into creating the diagnostics. my know, you know, those various companies spoken since and god and it can, you know, that are about to create, begin to develop diagnostics capacity that is hope grown and local. so we need to look at that was we also work hand in hand. you the pharmaceutical industry of who petro is, want to farmer african farmer, and we have to look at how we move together a, the last bill here because he's doing the they are in the i'm petra, if you take us 25 years into the future, one is the best case scenario for vaccines being made in africa. will africa be exporting vaccine? is that possible?
5:57 pm
yes, africa will multiple left, multiple companies with multiple multiple platforms. an athlete africa will contribute to vaccine innovation globally. we have the ability, once we've pulled the sector to innovate, we will good generate our in own intellectual property. and i hope that we will be open to share it in benefits, sharing agreements. it is not to be monopolized. it is to be shared in license agreements that has benefit for everybody and not to be whole close to give him a not monopoly. i think these are different worlds. we need the balance to be restored and not make way with i be or give it a way. i think we need to use intellectual property as an enabler. why not petro dottie audi view, as anew chief, thank you so much. is very vibrant of vigorous conversation and going to be following with great interest how vaccine production is happening in africa when it
5:58 pm
is happening in africa. and you can be sure that we were put on that right here on the stream. i was watching. i see you next time, take everybody ah ah. and the american people is spoken, but what exactly did they say?
5:59 pm
is the world looking for a whole new order with less america in it? is the woke agenda on the decline in america. how much the social media companies know about you, and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line? tough times the man tough question. what exactly are you asking for you? what troops on the ground? rigorous debate, we challenge conventional wisdom and demand the true up front with me, mark lamond hill. what out there? this is a popular iraqi dish colton as school fish grid to own an open wood fire for decades, fish markets to thrive to across the country. but these days, the industry is floundering. farmers say they need more government subsidized to vaccines. weighing just 20 grams. this thing, get a link, needs to be in queue. waited for about 6 months before it's big enough. roughly
6:00 pm
this size, we asked the agricultural ministry, what authorities were doing to protect the industry. the water crisis is hitting many regions across the world, not only iraq to increase productivity. scientists suggest introducing more robust strains to build up the fishes resistance to disease. until then, the survival of this beloved tradition of dish remains in doubt. ah, ah, ah, hello, i am sammy's a dan. this is the news i live from del. how coming off the next 60 minutes.
