Background
The world has not experienced a pandemic at the scale or
pace of the current COVID-19 pandemic; the virus has ferociously attacked high-
and low-income countries alike, but in so doing has exposed inequities in
access to quality care within and across countries. While the indirect
impacts of the COVID-19 on availability and utilization of routine health
services cannot yet be known, lessons from previous crises suggest that service
disruption and displacement will have grave impact on population health. In order
to address these challenges, a robust response based on strengthened health
workforce, improve disease surveillance, resilient supply chains and rapid
increase in diagnostic capacity is being spearheaded by the Ministry of Health
and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
Program Overview
WJCF supports the various departments at the national
level and focus states in COVID-19 testing, treatment access, and program
management. On testing and diagnostics, the program supports government
partners on testing policy, strengthened data and delivery systems, and
development of guidelines. The program has been supporting ICMR in the
development of the strategic plan for scaling up testing, providing data-driven
insights to support supply chain management including forecasting and inventory
management, and helping build guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) for downstream distribution of commodities. Separately, the program also
supports selected states on localized strategies for testing scale up and equitable
access, stronger engagement with the private sector, improved treatment
readiness, robust awareness campaigns and capacity building initiatives, and
analytics-based program management. WJCF, also supports focus states on
strengthening surveillance systems, and in conducting needs assessment for
establishing an Integrated Public Health Laboratory network.
