&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The scientists said that they have received partial funding and permission for implementing systematic surveillance of new variants of Coronavirus.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Over 300 scientists from across India, including renowned names like Prof LS Shashidhara (Professor of Biology, IISER Pune and Ashoka University) and Prof Partha Majumder (National Science Chair, Government of India), have requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take steps to open access to various data in order to transparency in COVID-19 management and also to enable them to work on better models to forecast and study the spread of the disease. Their appeal comes at a time when India is facing several allegations about under-reporting the number of deaths due to COVID-19.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to a letter written to Modi, the signatories identifying themselves as scientists from several research and teaching institutes across India said that a major reason for our inability to adequately manage the spread of infection is the lack of systematic collection of epidemiological data and its timely release to the scientific community. &amp;ldquo;It is essential now, more than ever before, that dynamic public health plans be implemented on the basis of scientific data to arrest the spread of infections and save the lives of our citizens,&amp;rdquo; the letter added. Acknowledging that they have received partial funding and permission for implementing systematic surveillance of new variants of Coronavirus, the signatories also said that their permission seeking proper data collection and timely release of the same is pending with the Union government.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Requesting permission to access granular testing data that the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) has collated over the past months, the signatories flagged that this data is not accessible to anyone including those within the DST and the NITI Aayog. They stated that this granular data will help them understand the geographical variations in the pattern of the infection spread. The scientists also requested the government to grant access to clinical data, with appropriate safeguards to the patients&amp;rsquo; privacy, which will help them in analysis, forecast and to estimate the need for essentials like oxygen, ventilators, ICU beds and the likes.&lt;/p&gt;

Their appeal comes at a time when India is facing several allegations about under-reporting the number of deaths due to COVID-19.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to a letter written to Modi, the signatories identifying themselves as scientists from several research and teaching institutes across India said that a major reason for our inability to adequately manage the spread of infection is the lack of systematic collection of epidemiological data and its timely release to the scientific community. &amp;ldquo;It is essential now, more than ever before, that dynamic public health plans be implemented on the basis of scientific data to arrest the spread of infections and save the lives of our citizens,&amp;rdquo; the letter added.

They stated that this granular data will help them understand the geographical variations in the pattern of the infection spread. The scientists also requested the government to grant access to clinical data, with appropriate safeguards to the patients&amp;rsquo; privacy, which will help them in analysis, forecast and to estimate the need for essentials like oxygen, ventilators, ICU beds and the likes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/over-300-indian-scientists-write-pm-modi-asking-transparency-covid-19-data-148091&quot; title=&quot;https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/over-300-indian-scientists-write-pm-modi-asking-transparency-covid-19-data-148091&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

Over 300 Indian scientists write to PM Modi asking for transparency in COVID-19 data

-TheNewsMinute.com The scientists said that they have received partial funding and permission for implementing systematic surveillance of new variants of Coronavirus. Over 300 scientists from across India, including renowned names like Prof LS Shashidhara (Professor of Biology, IISER Pune and Ashoka University) and Prof Partha Majumder (National Science Chair, Government of India), have requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take steps to open access to various data in order to transparency in COVID-19 management and also to enable them to work on better models to forecast and study the spread of the disease. Their appeal comes at a time when India is facing several allegations about under-reporting the number of deaths due to COVID-19. According to a letter written to Modi, the signatories identifying themselves as scientists from several research and teaching institutes across India said that a major reason for our inability to adequately manage the spread of infection is the lack of systematic collection of epidemiological data and its timely release to the scientific community. “It is essential now, more than ever before, that dynamic public health plans be implemented on the basis of scientific data to arrest the spread of infections and save the lives of our citizens,” the letter added. Acknowledging that they have received partial funding and permission for implementing systematic surveillance of new variants of Coronavirus, the signatories also said that their permission seeking proper data collection and timely release of the same is pending with the Union government. Requesting permission to access granular testing data that the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) has collated over the past months, the signatories flagged that this data is not accessible to anyone including those within the DST and the NITI Aayog. They stated that this granular data will help them understand the geographical variations in the pattern of the infection spread. The scientists also requested the government to grant access to clinical data, with appropriate safeguards to the patients’ privacy, which will help them in analysis, forecast and to estimate the need for essentials like oxygen, ventilators, ICU beds and the likes.
