Rotavirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in children under the age of five worldwide. It has a high mortality rate, especially in middle- and low-income countries. In 2016, India became the first Asian country to locally develop and nationally introduce rotavirus vaccines. In this lecture, Professor Gagandeep (Cherry) Kang will reflect on the successes and lessons learnt from the rotavirus vaccine journey in India. Cherry will outline what could be applied to improve global health in future, including vaccine inequity and effectiveness in low and middle-income countries, the challenge of encouraging more initiatives, and how developing countries can lead in driving forward the public health agenda. The lecture will conclude with a Q&A session chaired by Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet.
