This week Anuradha Gupta, Deputy Chief Executive of Gavi the Vaccine Alliance, will be sharing her perspectives @Vaccines. Anuradha joined Gavi in 2014, after her role as Additional Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Mission Director of the National Health Mission, Government of India. During that time she played an integral role in India’s hugely successful polio eradication program, taking strategic decisions that helped secure a polio-free India – a feat once considered impossible by many observers.

While at the helm of @Vaccines, Anuradha will be posting about aspects of immunisation she holds dear, including how to reach the most vulnerable children, the role of women in supporting immunisation and the unique challenges and opportunities for vaccination across the countries of South Asia.
