Day 2
In UNICEF's effort to build back better the lives of Acehnese localized Integrated Health Centers were built through out the province under the Health Units program. Known as Posyandu Plus, the health centers provide pre-natal training, check ups and immunization for pregnant mothers as well as health services for children under five. Built upon a preexisting government program, the Posyandu Plus activities have built upon institutional knowledge for greater sustainability and effectiveness.
At the Posyandu Plus Ie Masen, in Banda Aceh the monthly children's chek up's were underway, involving children under the age of 5. Monitoring weight, height, and health of the children monthly helps in the long term development and well being while vitamin A drops and immunizations help keep the kids healthy. Along the way the mothers receive training and are given the opportunity to allow their children to socialize.
We interviewed Sanawiyah, 28, and her daughter Shafira, 10 months. Sanawiyah is a survivor of the tsunami and moved to the village of Ie Masen, Banda Aceh after her home was destroyed in tsunami. (after a two minute interview we realized she wasn't going to talk…but at least there is one nice moment where she is smiling)
Salwati,25, is an Early Child Development Care Health Cadre trained by UNICEF and now working at the UNICEF built Posyandu Plus in Ie Masen, Banda Aceh. The two children on her lap were born shortly after the tsunami in emergency camps. (left) Misrina Huwaida was born 13th March 2005 and (right) Bunga Mafirah was born 15th April 2005.

Village Samho, Samho Block, Dist. Begusarai, Bihar, INDIA. Pinky Kumari, Cold Chain Handler, prepares to keep vaccine in vaccine carriers at Primary health centre (PHE) in Begusarai, Bihar. Social Mobilisation Network (SMNet), a UNICEF-supported initiative which mobilizes the community at every level village, block, district, region, state to get their children immunized from basic diseases as part of the governments routine immunization programmes. SMNet was started essentially in the 2000s as part of the government's anti-Polio campaigns. SMNet officers thus operate at every level, starting from the village level (where there's a Community Mobilisation Coordinator, typically belonging to the village), to the block, district, sub-region, and region, where there are corresponding mobilizing coordinators for every block, district, sub-region etc. SMNet is premised on the idea that people from within the community are the best ones to mobilize others in their people be it their village, their block or district. But this is where officers such as Bijay Ranjan prove that familiarity is merely an added advantage to the mobilizing process: the real trick lies in effective communication. It is this that made SMNet successful to the extent that SMNET Bihar officers have gone on mobilization drives to other states such as Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh etc. Although SMNet started as a tool to fight Polio campaign, over the years it has transcended its original definition, and become a pool of human resource that can be realigned to any other social/developmental goal. In fact, as of 2015, exactly a year after the WHO declared India as Polio Free, the SMNet is busy tackling diarrhea, malnutrition, hygiene and breast-feeding, all of which are critical to keeping Polio at bay. Immunization in India continues to be an ongoing challenge.

Health-care workers in Edmonton and Calgary are the first Albertans to be immunized against COVID-19.
Sahra Kaahiye, a respiratory therapist at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in Edmonton, and Tanya Harvey, an intensive care nurse at the Foothills Medical Centre Cell in Calgary, were the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday, December 15, 2020.
“Yesterday, I was on-site to see the first vaccine doses arrive in Alberta – now, about 24 hours later, we’re already administering the vaccine to front-line, critical health-care workers. The speed and efficiency shown in coming together to make this happen is remarkable. We will not stop our efforts until everyone who wants a vaccination gets one.” said Premier Jason Kenney.

Mothers and children leave their homes to attend a routine immunization session at the local anganwadi in the Chandmari Juggi. 27-year-old Naazma Begum along with her husband Mohhammed Avrakh reside in a 100 sq.feet plot of land covered by blue and yellow plastic supported by bamboo sticks. In order to survive Naazma picks rags from garbage dumps and construction sites, sometimes travelling around 8 to 10 kilometers a day. Typically her day starts at 4:00 am, and sometimes can extend till late evenings. After picking useful items out of garbage she comes back to her slum colony and sorts out the various pieces of junk collected. Plastic, metals, glass and other items are separated and sold. Children, young and old participate in this activity. The sorted items would then be sold to a “Kabadi Wala” ( Wholesale Junk Shop).
On certain days Naazma does not go for her morning rounds of rag picking. This does affects her household economically. Her husband a magician doing shows for a living does not have a steady stream of income. In spite of the circumstances Naazma on these mornings goes house to house motivating young mothers from her community to take their children for routine immunization sessions organized in her locality by the National Health Mission.
An inspiration to many, Naazma sometimes has tough time convincing her friends to take their children. Excuses ranging from, “We don’t have time’, “the child will get fever “ are common in her community. Naazma patiently explains the dangers caused due to lack of vaccination and its necessity in today’s life to every household. Her effort along with the support of Community Mobilization Coordinator and Block Mobilization Coordinator has led to a massive increase in the children immunized in Vijaynagar Ghaziabad.

Strengthening Essential Health Services is critical to make health systems more resilient to situations of crisis said PAHO Director
15 Nov 2021
Roseau, Dominica, November 12, 2021 (PAHO/WHO) – Recounting the global situation pertaining to Covid-19 outbreak in Dominica, Dr. Etienne affirmed that “although the situation is challenging, it is not hopeless”. “If our approach to defeating the virus is based on collective vision and individual responsibility, based on science and evidence, based on empathy and compassion, based on partnership and leadership, we will come out of this pandemic faster.”
The Director also declared that PAHO’s work in other priority health areas must be implemented in parallel to the work for the pandemic response. “We urge all countries in the region to ensure that essential health programs are addressed and invest in health to make health systems resilient in time of crisis,” the Director said.
Dr. Etienne, attending a special ceremony to hand over medical equipment and supplies for the covid-19 response in Dominica, reminded the health officials that, before the first Covid-19 case was detected in the region, that PAHO was working with development partners, donors, governments, and leaders to prepare for the outbreak, and quickly respond to save lives, protect health workers, and stop the spread of the virus in the Americas.
In March 2020, PAHO dispatched a team of experts to Dominica to advise national authorities on the organization of services for prevention, surveillance, public health measures and management of cases. “The first country in the Eastern Caribbean that had the capacity to carry out PCR testing was right here in Dominica,” said Dr. Etienne, “because previously we had installed equipment for the diagnosis of dengue, which could also be utilized for Covid-19 testing.”
In respect to the clinical response to the Covid-19 care in Dominica, the Director stated that “most recently, PAHO deployed for 2 weeks an emergency medical team and nurses from Spain, who along with PAHO personnel from the Barbados Office and provided training and development of protocols for the management of Covid-19 protocols.
In his response, the Prime Minister, Hon Roosevelt Skerrit acknowledged his appreciation to PAHO as a very reliable, committed partner of Dominica over an extended period and especially during challenging periods. With much pride he also saluted the leadership and dedication of Dr. Etienne.
“PAHO has been at the forefront of providing advice, guidance and the mobilization and coordination of resources,” said Prime Minister Skerrit. “When this pandemic became a serious national, international and global concern, the bigger countries hoarded resources and we needed to have someone who could coordinate on behalf of small states like Dominica.”
Prime Minister Skerrit lauded PAHO for stepping in and doing a remarkable job in not only mobilizing resources but ensuring that Member States have access to resources especially vaccines, to combat the virus in their respective countries.
The Ministry of Health, Wellness and New Health Investment was the recipient of several items made available by the Pan American Health Organization to address the Covid-19 response. PAHO’s Director, Dr. Carissa Etienne, was on hand to officially present the items to the Hon. Dr. Roosevelt Skerrit, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
In his remarks, Hon. Kent Edwards, Acting Minister of Health, Wellness and New Health Investment noted that the items to be received are significant, vital, and will continue to make the performance of their duties much easier. “These have been challenging times, but the staff has been dedicated and resilient and much of this I attest can be tied to the fact that the resources needed for the performance of the duties are being provided to them, and so as ministry and country we are grateful to PAHO,” he said.
The following items were handed over during the ceremony:
Two buses to support vaccination outreach, this is in addition to previously 2 minibuses, 1 car and 2 sixteen seaters, to support various aspects of the COVID response
7 portable computers (tablets) for Immunization Surveillance/ registry to facilitate data entry at community level
Ice Packs and Vaccine Carriers for extension of the vaccination program
20 Nebulizers to strengthen Health System
20 Pulse Oximeters for patient management
7,500 personal protective equipment (PPE) for protection of Health Care workers
Gene Xpert Machine, laptop and kits to strengthen laboratory capacity
30,000 PCR kits to continue screening in addition to 60,000 kits previously provided

Roman had is four months check up today. His weight came in at 15.25lbs and 26inches long. The Doctor told us he is right on track. He is able to lift his head up while on his belly, rolls over now, giggles, grabs things and goes straight to the mouth, and recently discovered his toes. Our boy is growing up so fast. Aside from all the good stuff he also got his immunizations, two of them. I am proud to say he took them like a champ. He only cried for a quick minute and continued his day as if he never got his immunizations... He's not a crybaby after all....lol

A measles immunization campaign was carried out from 22 to 29 April 2016, with the aim of vaccinating 25 million children aged 6 months to 15 years in the most drought-affected areas nationwide against measles. The drought and food shortages have caused a rise in malnutrition rates, and children who are malnourished are more susceptible to measles and its complications, which include death. UNICEF supported the Ethiopian Ministry of Health’s campaign including by providing vaccines.
