Immunization Post and Vaccine Carrier
DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The Immunization Post is a system that carries the vaccines and tools needed for vaccination outreach programs in developing countries. The post is specifically designed to enable healthcare workers to travel from clinics to patients in remote locations of Papua New Guinea. The post is packed with equipment at a clinic then carried to desired location by two healthcare workers (or 1 healthcare worker and 1 sherpa).
Each pocket has a screen printed silhouette of the tool that belongs inside –a visual system of organization that can be understood cross culturally. The post is staked into the ground to act as a visual marker for where the vaccinations are taking place. The post also provides a physical station for healthcare worker.
The post is only made of five materials; bamboo, fabric, paint, rope, and thread -- no adhesives, metal or plastic.
