Improving vaccination services in underserved communities
the Challenges
on immunization in remote & underserved communities
Immunization coverage
A significant share of children still miss out on essential vaccinations. This is particular the case for remote and underserved settings.
Paper-Based records
In the digital age most health systems still rely on paper-based record systems. Most health workers at the "last mile" do not have access to digital health infrastructure.
Paper Records
- Are difficult to search
- Can't be accessed remotely
- Are unhandy for mobile vaccination services
Vaccine COLD CHAINS
Keeping vaccines cold is crucial to ensure their effectiveness. Many cold chains are weak as adequate refrigeration equipment or constant power supply are absent.
