CoWIN to go global, app will help fight virus: PM

on Monday offered India’s CoWIN app for Covid-19 vaccinations to countries around the world, saying technology is integral to the global fight against the pandemic.

Addressing the CoWIN global conclave, during which India opened the platform to the world as a digital public good to combat Covid-19, Modi said there was no parallel to the pandemic in a hundred years, and experience had shown that no nation, no matter how powerful, could tackle a challenge such as this in isolation.

“That’s why, our technology platform for Covid vaccination – the platform we call CoWIN – is being prepared to be made open source. Soon, it will be available to any and all countries,” he said.
