  • India Is a Constructive, Dependable Actor Globally, Writes Harsh Vardhan Shringla Covid-19 Continues to Exact a Heavy Toll World
    India is a constructive, dependable actor globally, writes Harsh Vardhan Shringla Covid-19 continues to exact a heavy toll worldwide. In India too, positive cases are rising. However, our effective domestic response has led to a significant improvement in our recovery rate, which is now 68.78%. The case fatality rate at 2.01% remains one of the lowest in the world. High recovery and low-fatality outcomes can be attributed to proactive measures taken to deal with the outbreak from its early stages. We started screening Covid-19 cases a full 13 days before the first case was detected in India. We implemented full lockdown on the 55th day of the outbreak when we had only around 600 cases. Our public health response has been appreciated by the World Health Organization (WHO). The government took rapid steps to augment health infrastructure. As Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi noted, India now has over 11,000 Covid-19 facilities and 1.1 million isolation beds. We have ramped up testing to over half-a-million tests a day, to be scaled up to a million. India’s response has not been confined to meeting our domestic requirements. We have been significantly engaged with the international community in providing the leadership that the global situation demanded. As a responsible stakeholder in global health supply chains, we ensured timely access to essential drugs and medical items for over 150 countries, while meeting our own domestic requirements. We reaffirmed our position as the first responder to humanitarian crises in the region by deploying medical teams to help Maldives, Mauritius, Comoros and Kuwait deal with the pandemic.

  • Highlights: Developments
    Highlights: Within Myanmar: • Four more Rohingya men seeking to run in Myanmar’s upcoming general elections have been disqualified over questions about their parents’ citizenship. Camp conditions: • IOM has inaugurated a new 120-bed Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Isolation and Treatment Facility (SARI ITC) in Cox’s Bazar. • It is reported that the RRRC wants sole responsibility to administer the NGOs working in the Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar, and that RRRC Mahbub Alam Talukder wrote to the NGO Affairs Bureau in June seeking that control. High-level statements: • Three years on from the latest exodus of Rohingya refugees who fled Myanmar and sought sanctuary in Bangladesh, UNHCR is calling for renewed support and solutions for displaced and stateless Rohingya communities both within and outside of Myanmar. • Bangladesh has issued multiple statements this week requesting support for early repatriation of the Rohingya to Myanmar. • At a virtual seminar marking World Humanitarian Day, a network of 50 local NGOs, the Cox’s Bazar CSO NGO Forum (CCNF), insisted the government strengthen its efforts to repatriate Rohingyas. Developments: ‘Facebook had role in violence in Myanmar forcing Rohingyas to flee’ Dhaka Tribune (August 23) Facebook played a role in the violence in Myanmar that forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas to flee their homes to Bangladesh, four groups of the persecuted people have claimed, stressing that it is now the responsibility of the online social media platform to help them get justice. Representatives of the Voice of Rohingya (VOR), Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH), Rohingya Youth for Legal Action (RYLA), and Rohingya Women for Justice and Peace had a call this week with Facebook Director for Human Rights Miranda Sissons, and her colleague Alex Waraofka.
