How do we make sure that the COVID-19 vaccine is a public good and that we all, regardless of where we are in the world, have access to it.

For the first AIAC Talk show of 2021, we are joined by Achal Prabhala, coordinator of AccessIBSA, a tri-continental project set up to expand access and speed up the discovery of new drugs in the developing world, specifically India, Brazil and South Africa. As well as Indira Govender, a medical doctor and public health medicine specialist based at the Africa Health Research Institute, Somkhele campus, in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Indira is currently working on projects related to TB infection prevention and control for The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and joins us to discuss COVID-quackery and denialism.
