New Delhi: Around 50 countries, including Canada, Mexico, Nigeria and Panama, have shown interest in having a Co-WIN like system to run their vaccination drive, a senior official said Monday (June 28), adding India is ready to share the open source software free of cost.

Dr R S Sharma, the chairman of the empowered group for COVID-19 vaccine administration, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has directed officials to create an open source version of the platform and give it free of cost to any country that wants it, news agency PTI reported..

“The Cowin platform has become so popular that as many as 50 countries from central Asia, Latin America, Africa all showed interest in having a Co-win like system,” Sharma said at the second Public Health Summit 2021 on ‘Emerging Imperatives in Strengthening Public Health for India’ organised by Confederation of Indian Industry.

He also said a virtual global conclave of health and technology experts from across the world will be held on July 5 where India will share how this system works.

“We are telling the world how this system can work and how we are ready to share an open source software with any country free of cost. There have been huge interests starting from Canada, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Nigeria, Uganda,” he said.

Sources said other countries such as Vietnam, Iraq, Dominican Republic, the United Arab Emirates have also expressed interest in knowing about the Co-WIN platform for implementing it in their own countries to run their own COVID programmes.

In five months, Sharma said, Co-WIN has grown to handling 30 crore plus registrations and vaccinations.

“It is a citizen-centric platform and provides a single source of truth till the district level. From the beginning, it was ensured that the platform can be easily used to schedule, reschedule and cancel appointments,” he said.

Sharma also said that vaccinating 1.3 billion people is not a “trivial task”, and added that the development of a Cowin-like platform shows India has the capability to develop such great scalable digital systems.

“Most importantly you can go without any appointment to vaccination centre and get vaccinated. In fact, 80 per cent of our people have gone to the centre without any appointment,” he added.

On the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM), Sharma said the whole idea is based on the concept that many services can be digitally delivered. The NDHM will house all kinds of databases which will have a facility for the patient to fetch his/her records, he said.

“One of the silver linings of the Corona period is that we are at ease with digital consultation. The most important outcome of this is going to be generation of data for researchers and academic,” Sharma said.

India has created digital artefacts such as Aadhar that will enable the delivery of services digitally, he said. One such digital product created is e-voucher which is person and purpose-specific and will be launched very soon, he said.

Delhi AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria told the event that the pandemic has disrupted the healthcare ecosystem and public health infrastructure and has challenged resilience.

“Now we need to look ahead and strengthen our public health system. We need to be prepared for such a pandemic in future. Our basic aim is to have equitable access in remote areas. Important to look at health as a percentage GDP and we should look at 2.5% of healthcare expenditure. Health is a state subject but currently there is a lack of co-ordination among states,” he said.

Some challenges that need to be met are underinvestment as far as healthcare is concerned. Secondly, public health system should be driven by tech and data, he said.

There is a need to provide tele-health and tele-diagnostics in rural parts of India and industry has an important role to play. Also there is a need for a robust electronic healthcare system, Dr Guleria said.
