In this study, we explore the recent setup of a digital vaccination record in Austria. Working from a social-scientific perspective, we find that the introduction of the electronic vaccination pass was substantially accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our interviews with key stakeholders (n = 16) indicated that three main factors drove this acceleration. The pandemic (1) sidelined historical conflicts regarding data ownership and invoked a shared sense of the value of data, (2) accentuated the need for enhanced administrative efficiency in an institutionally fragmented system, and (3) helped invoke the national vaccination registry as an indispensable infrastructure for public health governance with the potential to innovate its healthcare system in the long term.

Policy Arenas

Multisectoral governance, one of many terms used to describe collaborative, cross-boundary approaches to solving complex public problems, is being applied broadly in several policy arenas, most notably in environmental and natural resource management, but increasingly in public health in multiple settings and scales around the globe. This paper explores how to transfer knowledge about collaborative governance to challenging public health settings found in low-income and moderate-income countries (LMICs). This paper presents a general background on collaborative governance, summarises some relevant empirical findings on the performance of collaborative governance and lays out some of the challenges and considerations for thinking about improving collaborative public health governance in LMICs.

Effective Public Health

The need for a National Public Health Agency in India is of crucial relevance today. Along with a responsive public health system, we need to focus on preventive healthcare and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. The country, as it marks its 75th year of Independence, must remember that it is essential to bring in structural change for effective public health governance.

Public Health Governance

Covid-19 confirmed idiocy of intelligence and perils of powers exasperating the governance ethics of globe and castrated canons of human values. Corona blasted derisively the tenacity and techniques of 'Corona meter' in recording the victimization of health, wealth, economy, environment, education, and governance genuflection before the virility and victory of undaunted virus of SARS genesis. Learned gentry captioned the proliferation of Corona virus as 'Pandemic' of course with doubtful accuracy. The reference of pandemic as a term could have been justified in earlier historical cases of influenza, plague, ebola and SARs etc gracing the meaning of “a set of mutually exacerbating catastrophes” (referring to 1918 Influenza episode) but the present global Corona death dance devastating the material and mental health of individuals, institutions and society needs, probably, a better and appropriate word or phrase. Surprisingly, even before the blink of an eye, health crisis is transformed into multiple conundrums – economic, research, medical, political and governance mocking at all public and private institutions.

Abstract The COVID-19 rapidly evolved into a global pandemic. Countries have taken measures widely to prevent and control the epidemic. China for example, has control the spread effectively, while many countries are still striving to cope with the increasing COVID-19 confirmed cases. The epidemic revealed serious problems of public health governance in many countries with long lasting social and economic consequences. This commentary reviews the pandemic response measures in five selected countries: China, Italy, the United States, Brazil and India. Building on critical reflections on the problems incurred in each country's pandemic responses, we provide a theoretical framework to reconceptualize public health as multiple types of economic goods. We further couple this reconceptualization with a systems approach to public health and wellbeing to offer new thinking on health governance. Finally, we propose suggestions for better, preventative and comprehensive epidemic prevention and health governance in an increasing urban future.
