  • For the first time a vaccine conceived and developed from scratch in India have been prequalified by World Health Organisation.
  • The rotavac vaccine developed by Bharat Biotech Limited last year was included in India's national immunization programme.
  • Rotavac vaccine protects against childhood diarrhoea caused by rotavirus it was built on a strain of virus isolated at AIIMS 30 years back.
  • There were other vaccines as well which were pre qualified by WHO ,So why it is of great importance, because it's first approved vaccine developed by India without any external aid.
  • It is also a sad fact that rota virus dairrhoea is responsible for 0.2 M infant hospitalisation and death every year. Most cases belongs to low to medium salary countries.

This is a great development for India, pharmacologists and microbiologists must be delighted.
This is the first of many more to come.

I hope so, however think of a world where every child gets enough care and thus no need for such vaccines. I am wating for that day

True.
Most infantile diseases are as a result of lack of proper care and services. Think of poliomyelitis and hepatitis.

India has more talent than many countries out there. The important thing is that now the world is benefiting from it.
This is good development. India is still very young compared to other nations.

Many people do not know it but before the British rule itself, India contributed much to the health care field. Medical scriptures like Charaka-Samahita along with Ayurvedic herbal medicines and even surgery has its roots in Ancient India.
