Jilab Health Center is supported by UNICEF and the Ministry of Health through donations by the Government of Sweden. Maimuna Hussein (wearing burgundy headscarf and dark glasses), Head of Health Center and Nurse Services. They do immunization and nutrition social mobilization, mother and child maternal health 24-hour services, antenatal care, postnatal care. UNICEF supports nutrition, vaccination and general support. Catchment area is I 27,271 people. Some people come from 6 kms away. She says that 99 per cent of mothers get their children vaccinated once they have the consultations. Some community members challenge getting children vaccinated but when there is an outbreak, they realize that the vaccines are necessary. It’s usually fathers that resist because they are away at work when the mobilizers come or when the mom goes to the clinic and gets educated about vaccinations. She said that spreading the information about vaccines should be increased through radio and SMS.
The Jilab Health Center vaccinates around 200 children below 5 years old. They also scan and treat children for SAM. In June they screened 709 children and admitted 21. Due to the drought there was a campaign to teach families about using the MUAC to screen there children at home and this is helping to catch malnutrition early.
The Main Hospital in this area is 8-10 kms away so when Maimuna refers a mom out, she worries that they might not make it there. She wishes they had an ambulance to be able to transport those who need it. ©UNICEF Somalia/2022/Lisa Hill

ANM immunizes a child at health center in Aurangabad. Immunisation is one of the most successful public health initiatives. Each year, globally, vaccines avert an estimated 2 to 3 million deaths from life threatening diseases that disproportionally affect children, 400,000 in India where the Ministry of Health carries out the largest immunisation operation in the world, reaching 27 million infants and 30 million pregnant women annually. Under Mission Indradhanush, the Health Ministry has identified 201 high focus districts across the country that have the highest number of partially vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Nearly 50% of all unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children are in these 201 districts. Of the 201 districts, 82 districts are concentrated in the four states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and nearly 25% of the unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children of India are in 82 districts of these four states. These districts will be targeted for intensive efforts to improve the routine immunization coverage in the country. The ultimate goal is to protect all children and pregnant women against vaccine preventable diseases in India.

Village Samho, Samho Block, Dist. Begusarai, Bihar, INDIA. Ritu Rani, Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), immunize a child inside Anganwadi centre 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.

“Jesse Clay (1786-1872) emigrated from Monticello, Georgia (Jasper County) in 1826 with his wife, three sons, and daughter to settle recently purchased land in DeKalb County. His 850 acres subsequently became the western third of the incorporated City of Kirkwood (1899-1926).
As with many Southern farms and plantations, the Clays had their own burial ground, which became known as the Clay Cemetery, one of Kirkwood’s oldest intact historical sites. Oral histories from neighbors and the Clay family report activity in the cemetery into the early 1970s. Kirkwood families represented in the Clay Cemetery include the Clays, Feltons, Dunns, Hammonds, Marstons, Orrs, and Parkers.
The Clay Cemetery Committee sponsors regular maintenance of the cemetery and documentation of its past and present”
