... Easy setup but there were issues with needing an actual landline at the site to get the Autodialler to work. Also, there was no access allowed to the site on weekends for security reasons (leased facility if I recall), so setting it up to dial key personnel up the chain of command until someone answers and enters the required code, wasn't an option. A UPS for the desktop computer used to gather and display data, and a generator with a fast automatic-startup time were also needed. In this scenario, lines were run all the way from the cold room into the control room (no remote transmitter as described by Olivier and Mojtaba).
When someone comes out with a version with a cellular transmitter which will display the data on PDA screens, foregoing the need for a computer on site, the technology will be mature!

WHO's Global Training Network provides training for national programmes and regulatory authorities on the principles of vaccine safety in 75 countries. Recently, the Network developed an updated, e-version of 3 modules of its vaccine safety course.
A pilot version of this course is now available online for healthcare providers to review and use. The development was assisted by input from the Public Health Agency of Canada and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This course is free and available to all who are interested.

I am happy to announce the date and venue of the upcoming annual Safe Injection Global Network (SIGN meeting). The Ministry of Health of the United Arab Emirates is kindly hosting the meeting, which will be held from 9 to 11 November 2010 at Hotel Crown Plaza, Dubai.
The two main topics on this year's agenda will be:
- The update of the injection-related Global Burden of Disease (GBD) as well as cost effectiveness of injection safety strategies.
- Strategies to implement the injection safety component of the newly adopted World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution on Viral Hepatitis
I hope to see as many of you as possible attend this meeting.
