Since 1987, the Extended Program on Immunization in Bangladesh has saved the lives of more than 3.5 million children . It has led to the eradication of poliomyelitis and the elimination of neonatal tetanus, and has possibly made the biggest contribution towards Bangladesh's achievement of Millennium Development Goal 4 well ahead of schedule. At least 95% of the 157 million people living in this country have access to vaccines - this in a country where only around 60% of the population has access to the power grid, that sees annual floods, and that has a challenging road transport system and high levels of corruption. This has made Bangladesh's vaccine delivery system a role model for delivering effective interventions in resource-poor settings. This successful story cannot be pinned down on any one crucial factor, but it is rather a result of the development of an effective system involving collaboration between multiple dedicated blocks of society – from front line workers to politicians to journalists.

Premier John Horgan, Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC's provincial health officer, and Dr. Penny Ballem, executive lead of the BC immunization rollout, make an announcement about the next steps in BC's COVID-19 Immunization Plan on January 22, 2021.
Village Ð Jamarasuan, Block-Chandanpur CHS, Dist-Puri, Odisha, INDIA..Mamata Bhoi with her daughter Pushpa Bhoi, four months child, wait to be immunized after Purnachandra Sabata, 44, an autorickshaw driver, delivered cold chain boxes of vaccines to Anganwadi centre. Every Wednesday, Purnachandra Saba, delivers boxes of vaccines to anganwadi centres.Immunization is one of the most cost effective public health interventions, preventing around 2 million child deaths each year worldwide, and IndiaÕs Immunization Program is the largest in world with respect to the quantity of vaccines used and the number of beneficiaries. Here, Routine Immunization (RI) saves the lives of 400,000 children annually. In OdishaÕs 30 districts and 314 blocks, it is not easy for health workers to reach a population of 4.1 crore. With 30% of the areas difficult to reach, 22% tribal population, 48% people in the BPL category and 17% schedule cast population, Odisha has been one of the most challenges states for them in terms of geography and demography. Despite these odds, during 2013-14, the state provided immunization services at a cost of Rs 30 crore to 8,54,619 children between 0-1 years and 9,40,081 pregnant women to prevent seven diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, measles and Hepatitis B. In addition, vitamin A is also administered to children. The current level of full immunization coverage is 62.3% for children (AHS 2011-12), officials say. Since 2009, the program has manifested itself in the Teeka Express, where participation of civil society, NGOs, porters, rickshaw drivers and volunteers strengthen the vaccine delivery logistics. This system has been implemented in 280 out of the 314 blocks of the state, and has reduced vaccine shortage, improved vaccine quality, improved timeliness of reporting, ensured regularization of immunization in hard to reach areas and improved immunization waste management..

Vaccine delivery would be impossible without health care workers, who reach children in remote areas by all means possible—in vehicles, on bicycles, on foot, and by boat—carrying vaccines in insulated boxes to keep them cool. These two health care workers in Tanzania helped the GAVI Alliance simultaneously launch vaccines against the primary causes of two leading childhood killers—pneumonia and diarrhea—in December 2012.

Tennis World Champion Serena Williams (centre) smiles amid a crowd of children and adults at the Nungua-Zongo immunization site in Greater Accra during the national integrated child health campaign. Ms. Williams, who is wearing a cap bearing the UNICEF logo, met with children and mothers, observed measles vaccinations, helped administer polio drops and vitamin A supplements, and distributed insecticide-treated bed nets during her visit..
.
On 5 November 2006 in Ghana, on her first trip to Africa, tennis World Champion Serena Williams of the United States of America visited Nungua-Zongo, a small impoverished community in Greater Accra, to review the country's largest integrated child health campaign. Nungua-Zongo is among 9,500 designated immunization points for the nationwide campaign. Almost 6 million children are being immunized against measles and polio at the vaccination sites, 5.4 million are receiving vitamin A to help boost their immune systems and an estimated 2.1 million insecticide-treated bed nets are being distributed free-of-charge to households with children under age two to help prevent malaria. The disease is the leading killer of Ghanaian children, responsible for 25 per cent of all under-five deaths each year. However, usage by children under five and pregnant women remains low. Some 500,000 children in the three northern regions are also receiving deworming tablets during the national campaign. These critical interventions could help save 20,000 young lives over the next year in Ghana, where some 80,000 children die annually, mainly from preventable causes. The five-day campaign, which runs 1-5 November, is led by the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service and supported by the Government of Japan, the United Kingdom's Department for International Development, the United States Agency for International Development, UNICEF and other partners.

Until now there have been few or no health providers that can provide high quality care during pregnancy, delivery, and in the days and weeks after birth in these remote Maternal and Child Health Centers. Having a trained Community Midwife present in every village in Somaliland is part of Edna Adan's vision to reduce maternal and newborn mortality across the country.
The Direct Relief Midwife Kit, one of 40 donated to Edna Adan Hospital to be distributed to the Community Midwives that are practicing in similar areas throughout Somaliland, contains essential delivery instruments, basic diagnostic equipment and medical supplies to help a midwives put their training to use.
