Celebrating an immunization champion
Health workers throughout the world play a significant role in health care delivery. Majority of them especially in Sub Saharan Africa work under challenging conditions such as inadequate supplies, remote communities and poor working conditions yet, they strive hard to take care of the sick and also provide immunization services to children under five years of age.
To mark World Immunization Week (2020), team Hope for Future Generations (HFFG) threw a spotlight on Evelyn Dzakah, a dedicated Community Health Nurse at Botoku Community-Based Health Planning Services (CHPS) zone in the North Dayi district of the Volta region of Ghana.
As part of her work, Evelyn conducts daily Child Welfare Clinics (CWC) at the facility and also conducts outreach visits every month to six communities to provide vaccination to children under 5 as well as home visits to track those who may have missed out on their vaccination schedule.
Evelyn has being doing this for the past seven (7) years.
On behalf of the Immunization Advocacy Initiative partners, we say “AYEKOO” (Well Done) to Evelyn and all health workers saving millions of lives through administering vaccines.
